Looking like Ecilop:




Patent application LT2011109

The rescuing system for a light pilotless aircraft

Actually, I foresee quite the application here, as big government moves into regulating the professional end of film work with multi's.

The issue I see with PhotoHigher's system is that it weighs as much as a battery and uses gun powder. Seems to me a co2 cartridge would be better, if not safer.

Fouling lines looks to be a problem to over come.

For the standard hobbiest, nothing can be better that just common sence, though.
