[TowerTalk] Drones

[Paul N1BUG FN55mf]

I'm using a DJI Mini 2. One caution is that it drifts enough to get into
trouble for close up tower inspections. I don't recommend trying to
approach closer than 3 to 4 feet from a tower and even that can be
dicey. Mine drifted and hit a guy wire once. I lost the tips of the
front propellers, but was able to safely land. This model only has
forward facing collision avoidance.
