As a previous HN post indicated, majority of that $900 price tag probably went to product validations and certifications :)


Not permanently mounted flight hardware, no TSO required. Only certification required for that would be basic FCC ISM transmission stuff, the same as your router. If they used a precertified module (like most internet of shit devices) you only need the harmful emission testing. It's also very unlikely that they voluntarily went through any of it because the devices regularly overheat and fail.


Interesting... I've never had reliability issues with my Stratus.
