Thanks WaffleJock. I've got some homework to do. Winter is not over yet. ChillyFlyer

WaffleJock In replying to your longer two paragraphs I'll be risking some repetition. My apologies. I agree, charging cannot be fast enough to battery changeout is a necessity. Regarding recharge rate and wrecking batts from cycling too fast it may be that we'd have enough batteries for the...

Something I totally don't know is how much of this stuff is already out there and available. Is it easy to work with existing gyro, orientation, gps navigation, land on a dot stuff and so on? That is a big chunk of my unknown. The other is knowing what so source and where to source it. By...

I don't mind funny ideas. I understand UAVs can be made to land on a dot. I mean a dot shape on a landing pad. So if GPS gets us close and there's a dot at the landing point then I need to learn how to get us there. I would not need to have it plug directly into charging ports, just landed...

A 2.5" ID pipe holds about 2.6 lbs of water. A 20' pipe would be 52 lbs of water. Thanks for start points DugDog, I'll look into them.

DugDog and Wafflejock Thank you for your comments. Especially regarding fluids. Yes, they slosh around quite a bit. Given that I'm talking about a flying pipe and not a flying 5 gallon pail then most of the slosh is lateral and that I've addressed with suggesting internal baffles / chambers...

If i understand you right, you're asking if the UAV will be navigating itself? Yes, it's responsible to fly the straight line to the end of the pass, stop forward flight and spraying, slide over, fly and spray back, then stop spraying and land on the trailer.

Imagine a flying pipe. A 20' long pipe, 2-1/2" diameter. The pipe is to fly horizontally, not end on but side on. The pipe (boom) is to bea loaded with a fluid and spray that fluid through orifices on the underside of the boom. The pipe will have baffles within to ensure fluid does not flow...
