Why are you frustrated?  What happens?

Did you try with less air?  A good way to practice is to shoot the tennis 
ball with no line attached.

I've found that using less air really helps. Also be prepared to grab the 
line (with gloves) as it goes out.. So you can stop the ball from going 
higher or slow it down.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Putting up wire antennas with a drone?

I'm frustrated using a potato gun or Big Shot arborist's slingshot to put up
wire antennas in my city lot.



A local suggested using a drone instead. Legal requirements notwithstanding
(I'm in Washington, DC, a restricted flight zone), how hard is this to do?
Is it worth the effort to apply for a waiver?



Any advice or suggestions are appreciated!
