@Meta4 & @BigAl07 I appreciate the compliments. It was indeed sporty. Replaced raw video with one the completed videos for the client: Also think that I might have found a work around on the the altitude restriction that can also help the client by them not having to scaffold the throat...

Just saw this post. On Wednesday (05/02/18) I flew inside a wall fired coal boiler with a P4P. 100% ATTI Mode with no GPS and the compass going bonkers. My client had previously tried to self-perform this inspection and ended up crashing their drone and somehow it ended up in the bottom ash...

Meta4, That is a good suggestion, thank you. Going to go do my post production to identify each component in the video for the client. Portion of the raw video at link below. Have a good day and be safe.

Meta4, I was topped out at approximately 100’ based on the diagram of the boiler provided that showed elevations for the various components visable inside the boiler. We experimented with different configurations and found that collision avoidance warnings were too distracting to the VO and...

We flew ten sorties without incident and the client was pleased that we could get such great video of the interior. The distance to the upper part of the boiler was an additional 50’, so no way to cheat the system by starting off of anything at the boiler throat. I appreciate all the help...
