The FAA's licensing requirements for even toy craft killed this sector.
Good news though, it's going incredibly strong overseas such as in Yemen where they've bought Chinese made drones and rapidly upgraded them into a domestic high tech military drone manufacturing capability... with 1000 mile ranges and bomb carrying capability.
So drone fans might not be able to do their thing in the US, and the US might thus not have anyone locally that has a passion for drones, or is able to advance US drone technology, but the tech advances ... elsewhere.
- itsyaboi 7y agoDo you have any links that talk about this in more detail? Modifying a off-the-shelf drone (assuming you mean quad copter here, not a fixed wing craft) to have a 1000 mile range seems like quite the feat...
