5. Distribution Strategy
Sales are focused on getting new users into the sport, while providing
high quality systems for experienced operators
An online resource would also allow for the engagement of users into
a community where upgrading (buying), building, and demonstrating
are easy and explained thoroughly.
Sales pushed through Trade Shows, then through sporting events.
Additional sales are facilitated by distributors and a potentially a retail
location.

6. Business Model
The Business model is focused on
providing a better drone experience,
using a stronger drone and a excellent
web service
The First product, The Peregrine P250,
has a 200% P.M. and are made in house.
As the web service grows, further
products would follow as well as
stocking the website with available
upgrades and components.
Key defensibility is drawn from the
company positioning such as brand
quality and online presence.
