Andrew Van Der Plaats commented on OG's blog post Robot Grass hoper on steroids by Boston Dynamics"Given this unit uses CO2 as a power source, it's not surprising at all that it can leap that high. Similar technology is used to launch grappling hooks between two ships or onto rooftops."

Here's a better shot of the plane. We hired the owner/pilot 3 years ago to come to an event held each June
in NE OK called Oklahoma D-Day. He flew a racetrack pattern over the site of the event site at about 1,000'.
Site measures over 800 acres. As he flew we had our observer sending radio reports on our opponents positions. It's how effective this was that has prompted me to look into what it would take to send live video back to our TOC (Tactical Operations Center) from a RC drone.

Between the Reaper and the new Raven UAV's, I am enjoying the builds and
look forward to all the help that you and the other DIY crew can give me with
your experience.
