Hah, 249 grams. That just barely puts it in the lightweight/least-restricted category. I wonder if that was an intentional design decision.

Everyone's going to be making <250g drones now, between this and the US remote ID stuff. It'll be interesting to see just how capable they get.

Perhaps multiple types of 249g drones with individual capabilities that can combine in the air, Power Rangers style.

One could be the camera platform, another with a larger battery....
