Lord of nothing:
Hi
Maybe in 5 or more Years I would like to build an Plane who can fly Autonomously with <250Kmh (to follow Trains) over some Km. Sure the major problem will be to get legally in the Air but that should not the topic yet. Are there some Projects who use small Pcs like an Pi for steering an Plane? Sure the goal is something who the real Auto Pilot do use 3x Pi (Arudion or how the get called or what ever) who 2x must get the same results ur the Packed, Sequence get throat away if the outside of the parameters.
Before someone argue why not a Quadro Copter? Thats simple I need speed!
Theoretically its simple to use that. There need only some way points to follow and after that the fly "home" where the can land. The rest like fly X m above the Ground can do with different method's like Radar, Laser,...
Are anyone into that stuff?
Thanks

Not hard to attach a camera to a wing strut, or just suction cup to the wing for a smaller camera.

Stay above 500 ft and no permission needed.

In many places it is illegal to fly a drone or model aircraft out of line of sight, and there are also weight limits (20 kg in the UK, 55 lb in the USA) and speed limits (100 mph in the USA).

If it's something you only want to do occasionally the easiest thing is to hire a plane and pilot.

For a Quadro Copter here you need a Pilot Licence (and maybe some other stuff. With Satcom its possible to over watch a Drone over a very long distance.  >:D
There also could use an gigantic Zepelin Shape Balloon who act as an relay.
The US Military use some with a Cam to monitor the surrounding around a Foreign Base. So the idea isnt new.

Try to get a Pilot to stuck something on there plane with the size of an professional Cam who is not licensed and certified. The replay with:

Rubbish. Not even $1k. Not even close.

In the USA the hire price for a Cessna 172 is something like $120 to $150 an hour, including fuel.

If you're a pilot then you're done.

If you're not a pilot then hiring one costs .. well, the same as hiring any other moderately professionally skilled person does. I'm sure most who didn't have something better to do would be happy to fly you around for $50 an hour. That's about what flight instructors for 172's cost.

$200 an hour, and you're done. Maybe $50 more per flight for landing fees depending on where you are.

Other countries usually cost more, but not ten times more.
