Hello Lt.

I'd be a little more weary to send a fixed pitch heli into a high threat area for this reason alone. Wind. The fixed pitch birds just don't handle wind very well, they tend to move all over the place and that can cost you. I'd recommend the Picollo or the Hornet CP. Both have collective pitch and can handle light winds fairly well. Put a good lithium battery pack (about 20-40 minute run times) and you should have a great bird for recon.

Just my two bits.

Semper Fi!
