Subject: RE: Drone Economics


Don't even consider a drone unless you love electronics, software, endless updates and a very steep and long learning curve. Everyone says "They just fly themselves". NOTHING just flies itself. Anything can and will go wrong. I watched a video where the pilot crashed two $40,000 rigs and one $50,000 rig in 20 minutes. They are not going to be in business for long although they are "Confident". You absolutely can not believe how fast things can go wrong. Propellor snaps. Battery disconnects. Weak signal. Frame cracks. Your investment is over. You are not going to "fix it". One second:

And then the manufacturer announced "EOL" - End of Life. And they will end it when they want. You have a piece of junk. Happened to the "DJI Inspire 1". Makes Deere look like they care.

If I could hire a ground rig I would. We can not hire a rig in this area and the only air tractor pilot died long ago.
