Onward FPV's Racer 4LA

Donation protected
When DRLs "Racer 4 Street" Kickstarter failed to reach its goal, I decided to take on the project. I decided to call the project the "Racer 4LA" or "R4LA" for short. I chose this name for a number of reasons but mainly it allows people to find the project if they search for "Racer 4" as well as not trying to take credit for the design and call it my own.

I reached out to DRL multiple times to see if they were willing to help me or would consent me to work on this project. After months of ignored messages I decided to move forward with the project. I announced the project on Facebook and created a website to list my project. 

Eventually the project gained support from the community and improved with the help of suggestions from the community. I created custom electronics based on photos of DRLs electronics then tweaked the design to add in features I think DRL missed. 

So far I have been ordering parts at minimum quantity and using cheaper production methods like 3D printing to create my products but I think it is time to launch the project fully. This launch is where I need your help. With the funds collected from this campaign it will allow me to get injection molds created for the canopies, order components at scale, and in return the overall cost of the drone and its components will go down. This price reduction will help more people be able to afford the system. 

I am grateful to any and all support and the funds will go toward making the drone cheaper and better. I read every comment and suggestion by the community and work with the people making the suggestions to see if their suggestion would improve the system. I have also made a point to try to accommodate custom requests without hefty price spikes.
