Seems like a popular Christmas gift this year was those remote control drones. I know this because Facebook is littered with people asking if anyone has seen the one they're missing. Despite knowing they seem to have a steep learning curve I'd like one.
I used to own a cheap remote control helicopter. That was fun but the batteries went flat after 15 minutes of use. Plus a couple of parts snapped. What I'd like to know from anyone that actually has a drone if they're any better. Is battery life better with these? What would I be looking at in terms of price for a reasonable quality drone to learn with. Are they durable? Would you say the fun wears off quickly?
