Monroe Lee King Jr. replied to Krischan Mitchell's discussion fire drone"Hey! Now that is a constructive solution to the problem :) It's obvious the Failsafe issue with the APM models currently available cannot be solved in software- That's about as good as it gets. This is a much more productive path to…"
Drone Savant replied to Krischan Mitchell's discussion fire drone"It actually wasn't for the failsafe functionality in this case, more so the PTZ control which works independently of any autopilot APM or otherwise. As I tried to point out with the documentation, you can control your PTZ channels via an XTend…"
LanMark replied to Krischan Mitchell's discussion fire drone"seems like overkill for something that the APM can deal with in regards to failsafe functionality.. continue on to waypoints or return to home... plus back to my original point.. 800 acres = 1.25 sq miles.. which really isn't that much…"

Okay I work for a fire department in northern Arizona and i am looking for a plane with an xyz camera on it that can fly over the 800 acre location we work out of. I was wondering if there is a possibility to have both the controls and the video still work and ranges that long. This plane will be used here for flying over the facility and searching for wildfire for faster response. If anybody has a parts list that could benefit my needs that would be appreciated.See More
