These were great images!
I just HAVE to try this!
What I have in mind is the glider return concept.
That or a gyrocopter, which much to my surprise can actually glide.
I already have an ArduPilot, an LISY300AL 300 degree/sec solid state gyro and a LIS302DL digital triple axis accelerometer.

Getting images like these back will make it all worthwhile!
