Wish we had drone shows to show for the trillions of dollars in spending we don't have.

I've only ever purchased Chinese drones. My best one is a DJI. I had some motivation to build a tri-copter, probably using mostly Chinese components.

Nobody has given me a good answer as to why multirotor drones are more common than helicopter drones. If I had to guess, it's that swash plates are a mechanical maintenance item that increases cost.
