UAVs for profit.......or development

As many of you know, the price of commercial UAVs are through the roof . Right now is a great time to sell your uavs. They're cheaper than commercial uavs so they will sell easily to anyone who wants a UAV. The point I am trying to make is not for prophit but for devlopement. So we can make bigger, better, and more powerful UAVs.

  • I m sure I’m not alone in having reservations about combining UAS and Windows based software. Danger Will Robinson!
  • 100KM
    welcome to the reality of being a uav pilot . we just flew a $35,000 uav for the customer in front of 50 people at a much higher 'tud then im used to. want to talk about stress and pressure ? then lets throw in a Microsoft update that was skewing up the sim and replay feature on our ground station .
  • Well, I watched the final few minutes of bidding and it did not sell. There was only 1 bid and it did not meet the reserve.
  • If that bird went down I would be devistated!
  • Was it $100K? I looked at one of these a while back and thought it was around $20K but maybe my memory is faulty. I do remember pricing the complete Carvec package last year at $14.5K for the smaller of the two systems they offered. These things are rather pricey. The ebay ad says the reserve has not yet been met so I think I will watch this and see what it goes for. All of that said, if I had that kind of money I would buy it.
  • Thats exactily why we should sell our UAVs because.......their cheaper and more expendable and easily manufactured and only require moderate to expert piloting skills! Also I would not buy a $100,000 aircraft just to spray crops and do areial reconnassans (I can't spell right now so give me a break I am temporarly dislexic)
  • This autocopter was $100,000 last year. He's losing money by selling it for $12,500. The turbine airframe + engine is over $7000. Then there's the $1000 GPS unit, $1000 ground station, $1000 electronics, 5 days of training. He's either moving to newer airframes & unloading surplus for 90% discounts or business sux.
