Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1
Filed May 3, 2023
File No. 333-270519
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is submitted by Unusual Machines, Inc.
(“Unusual” or the “Company”) in response to the comments made by the Staff of the Division of Corporation Finance
(the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 17, 2023 (the “Comment Letter”)
with respect to the Registration Statement on Form S-1, as amended, submitted on June 14, 2023 (the “Registration Statement”).
Amendment No. 2 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed
May 3, 2023
General
Comment
1. We note that your board of directors has approved and you are seeking stockholder approval of a 1-for-5.5 reverse stock split,
which will occur prior to the date of this Prospectus. If the reverse split will occur prior to the effectiveness of the registration
statement, please revise your historical financial statements along with relevant financial statement data appearing elsewhere in your
filing to reflect the reverse split based upon the guidance in ASC 260-10-55-12 and SAB Topic 4.C. Please note the need for your independent
auditor to reference and dual-date their audit opinion for the aforementioned reverse split.
Response: The
Company notes that Mr. Jeffrey Thompson, the Company’s director and principal stockholder attempted to obtain stockholder approval
of a 1-for-5.5 reverse stock split but was unsuccessful. Based on discussions between the Company, Mr. Thompson, the underwriters and
a majority of the Company’s stockholders, it was determined that the reverse stock split would be 1-for-2. The disclosure requested
by the Staff has been updated throughout the prospectus reflected the revised reverse stock split.
In addition,
the Company has updated its historical financial filings and relevant financial statement data appearing elsewhere in the prospectus
in accordance with ASC 260-10-55-12 and SAB Topic 4.C. Our independent auditor has made reference to and dual dated their audit opinion
for the aforementioned reverse split.

Cover Page
Comment
3. Please
tell us the basis for the statement in the graphics that "The Dominator is the new standard for premium FPV."
Response: The
above referenced statement has been deleted from the graphic.
Also, revise the appropriate section,
such as the Products section beginning on page 45, to clearly explain technical terms that are mentioned in the graphics. For example,
we note the references in the graphics to "IPD" and Betaflight CANVASMODE." However, the disclosure does not clearly explain
such terms.
Response: The disclosure requested by the Staff
has been added.
Comment 4. We note the new disclosure about the issuance of 3,400,000 shares of your common stock to Red Cat and the disclosure in
the table on page 69 concerning the shares owned Mr. Thompson. Please revise the cover page and the summary to disclose, if applicable,
that Red Cat and Mr. Thompson have sufficient voting power through their ownership of common stock to control or substantially influence
the vote on substantially all corporate matters. Also, expand the Risk Factors Summary section to include a bullet point to highlight
the voting power and expand the Risk Factors section to include a risk factor to highlight the voting power.
Response: The
disclosure requested by the Staff has been added.
Determination of Offering Price, page 38
Comment 5. As previously requested in comment 17 of our January 12, 2023 letter, revise the disclosure in this section to clearly describe
the specific factors considered in determining the offering price. In this regard, we note that you now disclose in this amendment that
you anticipate that the initial public offering price will be $5.00 per share. However, the factors mentioned in this section appear to
be identical to the factors mentioned on page 38 of your draft registration statement filed on December 14, 2022 when you had not disclosed
the anticipated price.
Response: The
Company has revised its disclosure to make clear that based on the factors that were previously listed in its draft registration statement
filed on December 14, 2022 and other variables including the per share listing requirement of the NYSE American and the feedback and suggestion
of its underwriters, a range between $4.00 and $6.00 with an assumed initial offering price of $5.00 per share (the mid-point of the range)
was recommended and accepted by the Company’s pricing committee of the Board of Directors. The Company notes that the pricing committee
has the ability to change the initial public offering price should market conditions warrant and to include a range for the initial public
offering by pre-effective amendment should the Company’s underwriters request the Company to do so.
Business Combination, page 41
Comment 6. We note your response to prior comment 3. Please expand the disclosure in this section to discuss why the company agreed
to amend the purchase agreement, such as why you are no longer issuing a Senior Secured Convertible Note and Series A Preferred Stock
to Red Cat and why you agreed to an increase in the purchase price.
Response: The Company has revised its disclosure to reflect that the Purchase Agreement was amended primarily in response to the objections
from its previous underwriters and their recommendation that the Company restructure its deal with Red Cat to issue common stock to Red
Cat in connection with the Business Combination in lieu of preferred stock and the secured note that included price protection. As a result
of arms’ length negotiations between the Company and the special committee of Red Cat and in consideration for Red Cat agreeing
to amend the Purchase Agreement, the Purchase Price was increased from $18.0 million to $20.0 million.

Comment
7. We note the disclosure in the fourth paragraph on page 41 that “Red Cat” shareholders approved the transaction
contemplated in the Purchase Agreement in a special meeting on March 8, 2023” and the disclosure elsewhere in your document that
the purchase agreement was amended on March 31, 2023. However, it does not appear that Red Cat filed preliminary and definitive proxy
or information statements for shareholders to approve the transaction in the amended purchase agreement. Please advise.
Response: From
the Company’s perspective, it could not reasonably be deemed to have any liability to any third party including Red Cat shareholders
or its own shareholders including future investors since it has no duty to determine whether Red Cat is breaching any of its duties to
the Red Cat shareholders. Section 4.01 of the Purchase Agreement provides that Red Cat has all power and authority to consummate
the transaction contemplated pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. Counsel for Red Cat has advised the Company that for the reasons discussed
below, it had determined that no additional shareholder approval is required for the March 31, 2023 amendment to the Purchase Agreement
(the “Amendment”).
Section 11.06 of
the Purchase Agreement provides as follows:
“At any time
prior to the Closing, this Agreement may be amended or supplemented in any and all respects, whether before or after receipt of the Requisite
Red Cat Vote, by written agreement signed by each of the Parties hereto; provided, however, that: (a) following the receipt
of the Requisite Red Cat Vote, there shall be no amendment or supplement to the provisions of this Agreement which by Law would
require further approval by the holders of Red Cat capital stock without such approval.”
The
Purchase Agreement was submitted for shareholder approval as Proposal 1 and was approved on March 8, 2023. The proxy statement
provided to shareholders of Red Cat states as follows:
“A vote in favor of the Proposal One will be deemed
the approval of the Share Purchase Agreement, the terms and conditions thereof, and the transactions contemplated therein and thereby,
including any and all amendments thereto approved by the Board of Directors of the Company following approval. [emphasis added]”
Accordingly, the Amendment as approved by the Board
of Directors was specifically authorized by the shareholder approval and does not require an additional vote.
Furthermore, based on discussions with Red Cat’s
counsel, the Red Cat board of directors considered the increase if the overall purchase price from $18.0 million to $20.0 million and
the elimination of the exclusivity provision in the Purchase Agreement that allowed Red Cat to shop for a more attractive offer in approving
the Amendment.

investment power for the shares of the Company’s common stock that will be held by Red Cat. As requested by the Staff, the Company
has identified such members by name.
