Dear Martin,


Thank you!


Sometimes it is difficult to find a good place for takeoff and landing 
of a RPAS (UAV) on the ground, because there are tall trees and tall 
buildings, which could shield radio control signal, power-lines, and 
cell phone towers, which may influence electronics, pedestrians, cars, etc.


This Ally Expedition 18 feet canoe is built both for flat water and 
rivers. It is produced in Norway. This robust craft may carry 2 - 3 
persons plus a lot of cargo. As a result of this test I know now for 
sure that it is possible to conduct an aerial filming expedition along a 
shore, about 20 km per day, taking off from a ultralight boat and 
landing on boat.


Please, note that I train sport flying regularly, - Release & Catch By 
Hand technique shall not be performed by a novice pilot. In any case, 
impact resistant safety glasses must be always worn during Release & 
Catch takeoff and landing. Certainly, there must also be Buoyancy Aid 
Vests in a boat for each crew-person.


With best regards,

Oleksiy
