An apparatus and system for placing, or resetting, power line cable to a power support structure, such as a transmission tower includes a remote aerial manipulation platform”) utilizing an unmanned aerial vehicle containing a bracket and a rotatable spool attached to the bracket. The spool includes a length of pre-lead line wound on the body of the spool. A reel system on the unmanned aerial vehicle provides appropriate tension to the rotatable spool. A control system enables the transmission of informational messages from the unmanned aerial vehicle to a ground control system.
