Some of our best customers are drone companies. They have a good business flying projects that are a few dozen acres and even up a 1/4 section, (160 acres) if they stretch it. To do a few square miles with most drones is just an near impossible task. Or if it is close to a major commercial airport, they have a tough time getting permission. No problem for us at all to do many square miles. We love those projects.

We just did a project for a customer that tried to do it themselves with a drone, and it took them several days to get it all flown. It did not look good with multiple sun angles, over several days. So we knocked it out for them. The challenge of expense was that the project was in eastern Colorado in the middle of nowhere. It was a long day of flying, to and from the site, but get up early, get there, fly it, land for fuel, fly home, fill up again and put the airplane back in the hangar. It makes for a long day for our pilot.

We flew the project in 45 minutes once we were there. Just lots of travel time. We still made it so they made money if they ignore the time and effort of tying to do it themselves.
