Flying drones is great fun, but there are better first drones than others. I'm a drone expert and some of my work involves flying drones that cost the same as a family car. It won't surprise you to learn that I chose something a lot cheaper to engage my son's enthusiasm for the experience. This time of year you can get drones that cost less than a delivery pizza...
Now this is where I started my boy off for several reasons. The controller uses the same scheme – called 'Mode 2' for reasons best known to the drone community – as serious drones, but the device is a lot cheaper. The remote is also a little smaller in the hand, which is nice for a child of age 6 to 10 (although I was perfectly able to fly it too).
