I bought a Hobsan X4 h107l on amazon ($54 including same day shipping) Its kinda tiny.
But its SUPER cool! It starts up in Normal mode, where the controls are not as sensitive. Pretty easy to fly. I took it to the park with my daughter who is 13 and she was able to fly it fairly good.
I put it in expert mode, and it responds great! And I turned off the Anti-Flip mode and tried my had at some flips...I did a couple but it is pretty difficult to control coming out of the flip.
I don't have any RC experience beyond cars. If I can get a video Ill post it. You can search Hubsan X4 on youtube and see some good pilots haha. You can get a version with a camera too.
The battery only lasts 7 minutes which is typical with these lower end copters. Takes about 30 to 45 minutes to charge...you can buy extra batteries for about $5.
