Good job Paul! Assisting with the ending. Bravo 👏! Great video Shaun on letting people know about this scam. Every FPV builder knows that upset feeling when you can’t get a drone to work. But it’s devastating for a child. Too bad that large manufacturers of drone parts couldn’t get together and drum something up just for kids at an event. Kind of like Flight Test.
Three years since Vernon was suspended by Indie-no-go, and nearly 6 years since he started taking millions for his "production ready" Micro Drone 4.0. Good to see he's finding creative ways to make even more enemies.
We have just brought 2 of these from the Grand Designs Exhibition at the NEC. As soon as I got back home to test it out I could tell straight away it was an old unit and very much a cheap product. He sold the package as a £60 bundle including a camera. The camera app isn't supported on any platform. So the camera is unusable, and the unit itself isn't all that great. My immediate feeling after using the unit at home is it poor and I want my money back. There isn't any form of contact with them now we want to pursue a refund. Their site doesn't allow for any contact so now we are stuck with a unit that is poor performing.
It actually isn’t a bad idea presuming you are a decent person and want to teach kids about drones. Although it would be more just assembling a drone rather than building one.
I do wonder if you might be able to ask one of the disappointed families if you can have what they got at the show? I’d happily refund them the £40 just to see what is actually in that product. I’m sure your channel subscribers would be interested in it too
Hey! Great idea, and we have actually got one on the way. We have sent the child a drone sent to us from a manufacturer for testing. But it is one I know works well! Look forward to getting it.

I can't believe it. Wait, yes, I do, Vernon needs to be locked up.
I'm one of customer of MD 4.0 every day I wish vernom will go to the jail
Vernon's only now selling it as "Build your own" because he doesn't know how to do it himself!
Genius 😂🤣... but sadly correct
LOL
Congrats with your persistence, this is beyond cynical.

So sorry to hear this. We are trying to warn exhibition and event owners about the issue, to stop them being able to sell to the public this way.
I suspect the company accounts will be interesting
i wonder if he is registered at companies house? edit - just checked and he is.
Thanks for the umpeenth warning. Who wants to buy this when the Neo is available? And if they do fall for this then there is something wrong!
OH BOY Where can I get one of these?

When will Vernon Kerswel cease his scams and go get a real job so he can pay everyone he has scammed back.
most likely once he exhaust all the crowdfunded money as his "salary", then he will declare the project unfortunately failed.
Makes my £18 brushless motor S1S look even better
