I use a 5100mah battery to run the electronics and motor.
I get on average 20 miles to the battery pack. I got 25 miles the other day.
I get the "cost question" a lot. Cost really is relevant because all the money in the world will not buy you the technical knowledge and hard skills necessary to understand, build and deploy a UAS on your own.
The entire system ran me about 2k, but I also understand electronics, how to solder, how to fly RC using LOS, etc.
I will tell you that building and employing a system like this is a lot of fun! So don't let the above discourage you. This doesn't take the fun out of fishing no more than having outboards took the fun out of rowing.
