    Don't forget Skydrone FPV, my personal favorite. They've been bumping their "delivery date" forward by a month each month for years now.

    Who wants to take bets on the other crowd funding drones making it?
    1. Airdog

    2. Hexo+

    3. Plexidrone 

    4. Lilly (not Kickstarter, but taking preorders in a similar way)

    I think Airdog and Hexo+ have the potential to make it and appear somewhat close, although a year late.

    Of all the outrageous features they claim, the 15 minute flight time is among the most absurd. That and the gesture based control.... ha

    @ Rob

    funny how people are made to believe that a shoddy product can be magically transformed into "state of the art" by "software upgrades"

    "Reedman promised that these problems would be ironed out with later software upgrades"

    A few takeaways from these continual drone failures on KS:
    - it is hard to produce things
    - Kickstarter is a great means to advertise. People invested millions in this project
    - If idea's were so great, it wouldn't be hard to get conventional investors, no need for crowd funding. 
    - People do not know what is already available to them in the drone segment. I could re package existing DJI Phantoms or Solo's and probably sell tons of them on Kickstarter to fools.
