good job, it has at-least helped change some of the governments views on these.
but why is it 2 million rs(35000$) for that?? :headscratch:

I think the eqiupment onboard it is high end like camera, rx, battery, and well 20 Lakhs is nothing for the department of defense i bet our community can make a much better one for 1 - 2 lakhs with long range capabilities and stuff. They reiterate that the frame is carbon fiber composites, so i think the frame is either a carbon-carbon composite instead of the usual carbon polymer ones or it is a higher K fiber composite than usual.
after using carbon composites the weight is still 1.5kg. lol.
30 mins flight time is great
carbon fiber is bad for rf.
i guess its the NRE cost of the model...d actual cost will be much lesser i guess...
correct me if I am wrong...
The costs in most govt. sectors are normally 20X .... where X is the actual cost of the product.. no offense to anyone but its the harsh reality. It's the case in most of the govt departments, even in Military...
