Hi,
 
The FAA may not care, but a 4 pound chunk of metal being hit by a plane  
travelling 400KM/H or more will take out the pilot, and likely cause a small  
plane to crash. If a 747 is hit in the right spot, even that may come  down..
 
Single engine aircraft windshields are tested to withstand 2lb birds  or 
less. A 4 pound bird will already go through the windshield, even at medium  
speeds at low altitudes, I know someone who this happened to.
 
bye,
Said

Do you  let it run continuously or do you do something to save power?

What's  the total payload weight?   One of the people I talked to at  
Maker-Faire said the FAA doesn't care if it's under 4  pounds.
