piling on,
the leads/antenna could be small gauge with power sent via high
voltages/low current, since the motors could be PWM driven with the
onboard processor or a simple buck convertor.. Taking out the LiPo
battery saves weight too. Any Maker's that have hacked one? btw
having flown a MEMS gyro in a rocket, I don't think the MEMS gyros are
stable enough for long term unattended hover positioning, so periodic
radio position control would probably be needed, or maybe a GPS lock.

With the right filtering/decoupling one of the power leads could
actually BE the antenna. I'm assuming the suspended vertical would be
used for transmit only, since even a beverage-on-ground would make a
much better receiving antenna.

Seems to me the power lead running tight against the antenna would be
a problem
