If it could be made to work then wonderfull, I have heard somewhere that the tropospheric winds run at hundreds of miles and hour, so even if you only had a 45o Angle to cope with then the device could possibly be some miles out of it's intened no-fly zone, and what about cables from adjacent units tangling (have you EVER seen 12 guys in a fishing cobble on the NorthSea trying NOT to tangle their rod lines??)
