Colorex, thanks for your help on my thread (CCD issues). Funny that you are thinking about the v929, thats what I was working on for my mini FPV platform. Its a great little quad.
As far as your idea goes. I'll stand behind what everyone has said. Its a great I dea and deserves to be seen through. How much money do you need?
Here are my thoughts:
I would be willing to contribute, a small donation via Paypal. Perhaps others here would as well?
Another option would be a site like
http://www.kiva.org/start, they do micro loans, and there are several other sites of a similar nature. The drawback might be the turn around, since you are trying to cash in on the holiday shoppers, it may not be the best option.
