Hi All      I am interested in exploring the feasibility of
monitoring wild game activity in African reserves with rc
surveillance. This would mean prolonged flying times and the
ability to fly far out of line-of-sight and leads to many
questions I can’t answer. Which is the best flying platform?
What is its maximum flying time and range? How bad do weather
conditions have to be before they are grounded? What are the
problems inherent in night flying? To what extent can a vehicle
fly pre determined circuits by GPS and auto pilot? If one spots
a situation that needs attention, will it send back coordinates
so that a ground team can be dispatched? There must be myriad
considerations that I don’t yet even understand.      Is there
anyone out there with any ideas?   2. xvin      xvin New Member
