One difference between suicide drones and hobbyist drones is the design lifetime. IIRC some of the gasoline engines used on suicide drones are built with a peculiar design that is powerful but wears out in just a matter of minutes. But that's acceptable because it'll still outlast the lifetime of the vehicle. Another difference is payload configuration.
