I found a way to get the tile near spawn. Get the drone, a hook, and a rock. Attach the rock to the bottom of the drone and fly it towards the tile. Be aware the rock will constantly weigh the drone down, so keep increasing altitude as needed. When you get to the tile go down onto the roof with the drone. Thanks to the weight of the rock the drone will not clip over the tile and you'll be able to push it off, then retrieve the tile wherever it lands.
