Topband: Drones for antenna installation?

I have been thinking about purchasing a drone. It just occurred to me that I might be able to use it to install antenna wires. A row of trees separates my lot from my neighbor's. The row is about 150 feet long and 65 feet high. A similar row runs in front of my house, but that row is closer to power lines.

Should I use the drone to drop a wire directly on the trees? Or should I drop a fishing line and try to pull a wire through all those trees? A third option is to use a Cushcraft MA160V.

I'm a newbie on 160 (and don't claim any great skill on other bands...)
