    Magpy is a compact fixed wing drone that is super simple to use. Quickly plan your survey on the included Mission Control application and throw Magpy to start the mission. Magpy will cover 70-100 acres per battery (400ft / 120m AGL) and then land autonomously where you instructed it to. The Survey3 camera on-board will be automatically triggered and the images will be geo-tagged from the accurate M8N GPS receiver. Thanks to its SD card extender you can easily swap SD cards along with Magpy's battery between flights.
