I think that is a very good idea. I had a similar idea to make the booms longer and then use a bicycle tube to create a bumperzone, but I like that one...
One time when I was doing an orthophoto-flight, it would only execute up to WP12 out of 20. In that case it came from an error in WP12 - so I deleted that WP, reprogrammed and reuploaded the mission via QGC and it would execute. But its been a while since I flew missions, my latest jobs has been inspections and all flown in DVH mode. I have never seen the WP´s get mixed up - if you can document what is happening, it will make it easier to pinpoint for Peter.
I have a set of 3DR 433 radios, and they seem reliable enough in bench- and rangetests, but I havent flown with them yet - I am still using 2.4 Xbee pros. What airspeed are you setting the 3DR radios for?
Tell me about winter coming - the forecast here is -15c and 10CM snow this afternoon, so I am gonna go out and fly while I can, and I ordered some conformal coating for the ESC´s and FC in an effort to stretch the season, but soon I will have to go back into dev/design mode to fill the long cold nights with something useful.
