This is good advice, but if you&#x27;re fairly confident that you&#x27;re really going to get &quot;into&quot; quadcopters I recommend starting with something larger like the Syma X5&#x2F;X5C.  They&#x27;re more expensive (~$50) but far more versatile - can fly outside with a range of 150-200m or more, and are actually quite a bit easier to control because their size gives them stability and makes it easier to see the drone and its orientation.
