Oh, it can descend with the line attached, just not gracefully. Reminds me of when a Marine Corps Major asked if he could test fire a Stinger missile over the Potomac River, to which my boss replied. Maybe....once.

The key to the whole thing is the payload release device since a quad cannot descend with the line still attached. -- John AE5X https://ae5x.blogspot.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:[email protected] This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to [email protected]
