That actually looks like a pretty cool little idea/invention. 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.

At first I thought this was gonna be another joke and the guy just wanted some money to make a simple paper plane lol. 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.

Doing simple math, if a dude can raise a million bucks for a paper airplane, then I can raise $100M for the paper aircraft carrier to mobilize the fleet.

Why people give too much money fo such useless stuff, and little to charity things that need it more?

Considering it is not money laundering, of course
