SYMA X3 quadcopter drone...get you one.

[ProCroation]

I picked up my first "drone" to see how I like flying them. I've never flown an airplane and I suck at flying helicopters. I usually stick to RC cars and trucks instead. I bought it at Rural King in Shelbyville. NOT the $899 one they have advertised at the gun counter. This was on a shelf in a middle aisle. My wife pointed it out and it was only $30 something.

Finally, something I can fly confidently. The controls are easy to adjust to and the propellers are protected with plastic rings, so if you crash it, you won't break it. I fly mine in the house a lot but it's so much more fun outside. You can fly it high enough that you can lose visibility of it, so be careful. I've had to cut throttle and go hunt it down a few times haha. It's rechargeable...takes about a half hour or so. Run time is about 10 minutes as far as I can tell.

Hands down the most fun I've ever had, trying to learn to fly RC stuff. I highly recommend one to anyone just wanting to kill some time, having fun. Thoroughly worthy of $30 to $40 for the entertainment.

I found a thorough review of this model here http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1893662

Sounds to be a solid entry level quadcopter.
