For another multicopter in the $500 price range, check out http://www.thepocketdrone.com - the most successful drone Kickstarter of all time (raised almost one million dollars). Disclosure: I work for them.

Didn't see any answer to what are, IMO, the two most important questions:

* What flight time does it have?

* If you pre-order today (not that I'm going to), when can you expect to receive it?

20 minutes with onboard camera (GoPro etc.) - longer without the camera: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYAKpmhMADI

Shipping is due to begin late summer, but Kickstarter orders will be shipped first. I've been told there is going to be a price increase sometime this month, although I'm not privy to the exact date.

Your website is a bit withholding for my taste.. clicked around looking for a decent flight time approximation (vs. weight, conditions etc.).. Found nothing.

unchill.

Here's a flight time test with onboard camera, at 17 degrees Fahrenheit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EYAKpmhMADI

TLDW: 20 minutes. Without a camera you'd be looking at around 25 minutes.

You're right that this info should be on the website - I'll make sure that happens. Thanks for the feedback.

Are the blades proprietary? If so how much will they be?

I have quite a bit of quad/hexa-copter flying and the #1 problem I have had is replacing blades. Luckily my more expensive copter I have uses the same blades as RC planes so they can be ordered cheaply, but thats not the case with my other drone. I can foresee a huge headache for your users if the pocket drone uses proprietary blades.

I'm not sure whether the blades are proprietary, but I can find out if you like. A full set of matched and balanced blades currently sells for $19.95: http://www.thepocketdrone.com/store/p3/Pre-order_Spare_Prope...
