Herb,



Some of your statements are grossly inaccurate. As for your opinions, you are certainly entitled to having them.



I would walk you thru how it all works, but I am certain that you have already come to a conclusion based on a preconceived and highly inaccurate idea of what I am proposing.



And for the record I already have 4 very interested parties. ;-).



Best,



Sean

Sean,
Enlighten me as to what you are proposing. I understand you want to make videos from a flying platform that is in a tight formation with a glider during take-offs and landings, even a winch-launch is mentioned. There are good and established reasons why we let aircraft take off and land one at a time, with lots of separation. Getting in formation with a glider with remotely controlled devices close to the ground sounds like Bubba's idea: hey y'all, watch this. Remember the Cadillac commercial filming a ground launch with a short rope? How did that turn out? Good luck with your 'non-commercial' drone flights.
BTW, I'm very involved in rc flying, including multi-copters.
