I&#x27;m really happy with this little drone, the Eachine H8. If you play video games, it&#x27;s super quick to learn how to control it, and it&#x27;s very resistant to crashes.<p>... and now I learn that I can hack the firmware! so for an &quot;affordable programmable drone suitable for children&quot;, I think that&#x27;s the best answer (it&#x27;s just $14 on banggood). Buy spare batteries though, and maybe with budget &lt; $100, buy two of them :)
