[HSMM-COS] Sky Sapience Delivers the First Pre-Production Hovermast to the IDF

[Bill Bishop]

Hi folks,

 TC & I talked about deploying "portable masts"; this certain counts as
one.  The mast is simply the power wires.

 I'll have to do some experiments with my hexacopter to see how much
wire it can carry aloft.   Larger motors can be used to carry more
weight, but that increases the current requirements.   A bit of calculus
should show the sweet-spot:

 Those Israeli's are pretty good at finding the price/performance points.
