Him indoors wanted one. We'd agreed to start with a cheap one (goes against all my instincts) to see if he got on with it/ever used it.
So I got him one that seemed ok for Christmas. Was circa £80 but reasonably good previews for the price point. DEcent range - I couldnt see the point of 80m ranges for example.

Anyway it was a disaster. Bloody thing is virtually uncontrollable. The first time you fly it you have to try to remove the shear in a set up mode by using the joysticks.
The problem is, even in beginner mode, the bloody thing takes off and crashes before you even get a chance to move the joystick at all.
Its been sitting collecting dust - dont blame him. I've also had to live with repeated digs about getting him a PoS when I get the best of everything. Point taken.
He's got a milestone birthday coming up and I'm thinking of getting this:

other than DJI get really good reviews I know nothing about drones. I'm just hoping its easier to fly.
Does anyone know if it is?
