    Remember when pocket drone kicked off the rot. http://www.suasnews.com/2015/06/36353/more-than-10-million-dollars-... There was 10 million invested by Joe public already back then. Keeping the feature list down and managing expectations is hard me thinks. I wrote somewhere else that I couldn't believe that the specs of the unreleased Lilly were being compared to the Phantom X concept. Two made up platforms going head to head in a virtual specs standoff. I know a fellow who I tried to warn off Lilly, his answer to are you sure its going to be able to do all that was, well it would be illegal for them to not bring it to market.... Perhaps if the kickstarter had to refund double on failure wild claims would drop. I don't follow other things on crowd funding sites. Does anybody know the general failure rate ?

    In the end the entire industry is going to be like that of the car companies and many others (there were 1800 US car makers in the early 1900's).

    A guy today told me he trusts SNAP - so he ordered one of those (pre-ordered). 

    I would say PT Barnum was right - but apparently he didn't make that "sucker" quote and actually gave people a lot for their money. 

    I do think we can say a fool and his money are often separated prematurely. Or, that people are dreamers.

    RC flying has now gone from a hobby to a multi billion dollar business, & is finally becoming a poster for infomercial ripoffs.  Unless one of the weekly battery breakthroughs comes true or Facebook makes a $50 billion offer for the FAA regulation comment threads, it might become a hobby again.

    Yes! I seem to have a knack for throwing it away... Please sell me more junk!

  • Jonathan Hair November 11, 2015 at 12:18pm

    Jimmy, are you looking to throw your money away? If so, keep backing KS projects :)

    If you want a drone, go buy one of the many many options available that work great.
