    That is something to get a drone that can operate at that altitude.

    What shots. Wow. I know a guy that went twice and made it the second time. He was a doctor but was still pandering for donations, although he did do presentations for the school kids when he got back.
    Personally, I've spent enough of my life in snow, wind and below zero weather as it is. LOL
    But still have to admire the singleness of purpose and drive to do this "because it's there"

    Any idea what's the main issue is? This thing was a $5000 model but must have been modified.

    Temperature on mechanical properties? Temperature on battery performance? Winds? Mapping/location signals?

    Altitude is the problem with helicopter type craft- harder to create lift. US Army helicopters had a hard time operating in the Hindu Kush in Afghanistan.
