Title: $1.23M raised on Kickstarter to develop paper airplane. (only sought $50K) Post by: Gleb Gamow on September 03, 2014, 09:04:36 AM https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/393053146/powerup-30-smartphone-controlled-paper-airplane

I could see them in stores and I bet they'd be pretty cheap, especially compared to actually buying a remote control plane which are very pricey.

Wonder if you could affix a little camera onto the front and turn it into a DIY drone?

Wonder if you could affix a little camera onto the front and turn it into a DIY drone? And, attach microbombs under its fuselage and wings, moreover, some powdery substance as a payload, but that's a given. Now, there you have it: A fully mechanized terrorist weapon totally funded via Kickstarter, albeit only available to smartphone users possessing rudimentary motor skills, i.e., capable to move their wrist up and down, and left and right, soon to be available at Walmart where hunting shotguns were once displayed.
