I am looking for help to build a plane similar similar capabilities found in the BAT 4 UAV (http://www.spyplanes.com/pages_new/products.htm) but on a shoe-string budget.Payload 30 lbs + fuelGPS Guided for route and altitudeRugged and Smart Design for CraftManual or Automatic Takeoff and Landing2-stroke engine11k Foot CeilingFixed Landing Tundra Gear100 Mtr Run WayI have a small gold mine that I am starting up in Ecuador, South America. I would like to co-develop a UAV that could transport super-concentrates and gold ingots from the mine to a secure location for refinement and to market. I have spent most of my budget on the project so we are very limited, until we are in full production.Our problem is that we will have to drive our gold through long winding dirt roads in the Andes Mountains. Roads and assault are a risk for any vehicals driving from a gold mine, even in safe countries like Ecuador. Like the majority of mining companies, a private helicopter is not in our present budget.I do have access to a fairly high tech machining shop and would be glad to fly a tech down here, cover expenses and perhaps forge a partnership to develop a UAV company specific for the needs of precious metals and gems sector. Many developing countries have more relaxed laws concerning drones and are more open to market. I also have friendships with high level military personal involved with government contracts in Ecuador. With the right developer, we might get their attention.I also have many connections in the mining sector including Africa, South America, and Asia. I would be interested in developing a UAV with specific intent to market for the transport of precious minerals and gems from small and medium miners.If you are even remotely interested, lets talk.Cheers!
Patrick,
Perhaps I you are right. I may be out on a limb. If so, I´ll just have to buy one after we are processing rocks.
Anyways, this is a very interesting site and I appreciate the feed back.
Thanks!
