Made in America

Wasn't the Go Pro Karma American designed, and engineered. That drone may have contributed to the success of the Mavic more than any other single factor.
3DR is American made, but they may now be out of business.

We even lost the market for making little machine screws, most of our manufacturers were killed off by you know who!

Well my fact checking failed me- there are a couple US fastener companies left so I edited my post above while you replied. My point is that we blew it by laying silent for so long as even our basic part manufacturers all dissolved.

then $0.50 to have an immigrant fix it.
It's good for the present, but bad for the future, unless you love the service sector

I think you got that backwards and there’s an out of place comma... we’ll be paying $5,000 for a $500 drone?

Just kidding, there’s obviously a typo in his post with the comma, its either $5,000 or $50.00 that he meant.
And if you compare the worker conditions between the US and China, no wonder why they can undercut our domestic products so well.
Looks to me more like a case of someone in DoD having a friend in the drone industry who would like a lucrative government contract.
Anyway, they're too late, and their solution will be too expensive. I also wonder if they're going to make all the electronic coponents at home. *looks at theoretically American iphones*

There are a few US made small drones but their prices would not be attractive to consumers.
The Lockheed Indago is around $15000
Or do the arithmetic on the Black Hornet for a surprise.
It's specs wouldn't threaten a Mavic but the contract for 60 of them was reported to cost $2.6 million.
Your tax dollars at work?

Black Hornets are nano-drones able to perform reconnaissance during combat operations.
