Good training. With 1 meter across to work with, the landing gear would definitely help. The inability to yaw the camera when landed would limit the flexibility of the stealth video. With the only gimbal control being elevation, I was figuring on a perch not much larger than the width of the skids, so you can look down, as well as level. Landing on the edge of a 1 meter pad might still work though, to point the camera down over the edge, out of view from below.Our RA doesn’t cover landing on telephone poles. I certainly wouldn’t authorise this with our aircraft. The landing area has to be a 1 meter diameter flat space. Pilots who train for this have to do 25 approaches into a 3 meter concrete pad before than can reduce to the minimum landing area of 1 meter
