Hi Steve, hows the Glasair going? I been away from flying for awhile,
hopefully back into it in new year. Did start mine recently after it been
sitting idle since feb 2020, So happy I persevered with the mazda, it
started & ran so sweet I contemplated doing a couple of circuits but for
the legalities. No MR and I need AFR first.

Neil, not sure I agree with your rotor setup proposal, ( not that mine is
better) can get some weird aerodynamics with intermeshing rotors.
Whole thing of nurse cart & drone need to be a package, rotors will never
be stopped during refill so drone needs to land on roof of truck or trailer
for refill from underneath to keep blades clear of dumbasses like me.
Truth be told, I dont think we can get anywhere near the efficiency of a
ground rig or Ag plane, we easily average 80 ha/hr each machine + nurse
cart, going to need a swarm of drones to get near this. But could be a fun
project.
Andrew
