Delayed video intel at best. But much easier than getting a video signal off the drone.

This is what I am thinking when I am talking about a home made drone. A RC plane of some sort, with a digital camera attached. So no not real time, but will still give you decent intelligence, if it makes it back, and I see this as likely with the limited size of the plane, and lack of ammo (not likely to draw lots of fire, but this is very vearable).
