This current interest (and privacy furore) about drones set me thinking,
what an interesting way to elevate a TopBand vertical, but being a temporary

restrictions.

However the height of a 1/4 vertical would be such that it may fall
under the regulations of the CAA (UK) and the FAA (US) depending on
the location.

Under 60m (~200') does not require any permission in the UK.

But do you want a radio controlled gadget with 4 electric motors at
the top end of your vertical? Ok you could put a length of isolating
rope between it, but still...

Some sort of aerostat makes a lot more sense than a thing that requires
continuous power.
