[QUOTE="H3Alpha, post: 89428, member: 12955"] He wouldn't need a massive battery; only the standard battery. He wants it to take off and fly for a few minutes, then land and recharge before doing it again in about 15 minutes. So he's only flying for a few minutes, then recharging, then flying, then recharging... That said, there is also the issue of letting the battery cool before it will even accept a charge, which can take 5-10 minutes. One of the problems that I see, even if you could design & build a "landing pad/charging station" that charged through those bottom contacts, is that you would still need the Spark to shut down to allow the cooling/charging cycle, then power back up to resume flight; I don't think it will charge while turned on, and I don't think that shutting it down/powering it up is possible without manually doing it. Another issue would be getting it to land accurately enough; I doubt that could be accomplished either. Interesting idea, though. [/QUOTE]
