Spoke to the owners of two Hobby Shops that made a killing selling Drone back in Christmas 2015 ............
Christmas 2016 was not so kind to them in drone sales ...... it seems the fad may be fading.
The both said the FAA might have a lot to do with it because sales for non-registration drones was flat, where sale of drones that require registration fell like a drone that lost power.
One also said many customers were growing tired of repairing crash damage, it was as if the people bought the drones thinking they were so easy to fly anyone could do it AND were invincible.
He also noted a resistance by many for the flying advice he offered. ( they needed no help because they knew all they need to know )
Life marches on ...... I am about to unbox me 1/4 Scale beauty this weekend !!!!!
Who knows ..... time will tell.
