Start with the playbook, not the purchase.
Drone cleaning is a water job that happens to fly. Wind, building fit, and method choice decide more than the cleaning drone, so the library starts before the equipment.
Before You Buy.
Part 1 covers what drone cleaning really is, the system behind the drone, good jobs versus bad jobs, and the red flags to catch before you spend.
This month: The Working-at-Height Book ($97 value).
51 pages on every way up a building: drones, water-fed poles, lifts, rope access, ladders, staging, and the hybrids between them. Every claim evidence-labeled.

Vetted operators. Real work. No pretending.
I have not flown cleaning jobs myself, and I am not going to pretend otherwise. Here is what I do bring: 11+ years running exterior cleaning crews, building my own cleaning systems, and learning what good work actually looks like on a building.
Drones on the Fly exists to keep you from expensive mistakes. I vet the operators, the equipment, and the training, then connect you with the right ones for your work. The footage below is real work from operators and training we have vetted. No stock, no renders.
Matt Garcia, founder
One operator's work proves their work. It does not promise your building cleans the same way. That is what the setup review is for.

Method Fit Review
Drone, waterfed pole, lift, or rope access? A fair review of access, surface, weather, and site control decides the method.
Drone Cleaning Equipment Guide
A reliable field setup includes water, filtration, containment, a spray-rated hose, and redundancy planning. Start here before choosing aircraft.

Want in on what is being built?
Drones on the Fly is building the equipment, training, and operator network for the drone cleaning industry, and Drone Outlaws is organizing the trade itself.
