Electromagnet for drone recovery system

I also have the small version of the claw, but this may help WATCH: 'Eagle Claw' Drone Picks Up Payloads Like A Bird Of Prey

Thank you that was what I was looking for earlier.
That type of claw anyway.

I am trying to come up with a way to pick up and release stranded/broken drones from a heavy lift drone with a winch mounted to the bottom.

I have been thinking about an electromagnet. I found one that says it can lift 5 pounds or so and runs on 5vdc. The winch and electromagnet will have their own battery.

My question is this: Does anyone see an electromagnet deployed from a winch on the bottom of my S900 causing any sort of interference with the A2 flight control system?

I am picturing a steel washer epoxied to the drone I am recovering for the magnet to stick to.

It’s all just in the planning so far. Any ideas or comments are welcome.

Thanks, Mike

Mike. I bought these at Amazon USA from info on a different thread.

One could rig a non-ferrous attachment point on the drone for use with a grappling hook, or just grab an unbroken arm. I haven’t rescued my drone with one yet, but I’m prepared to try. Yet another gadget……

Post us a video when you get it working. Sounds interesting.

Make sure that you have a method to jettison the payload in case of emergency or entanglement.
