I'm going to remote mine but not unviewed. I'll have an x10 video camera to
keep an eye on it. I have a hand control now with about 5ft of cord and when
I look up 75ft I tend to fall over backwards especially if there are clouds
moving(lucky to have relocated to NC not many clouds, Carolina blue sky).
Tough getting old.

Happy holidays
