Drone to play/practice with?

[Cuzman]

Do you all think this deal is any good? At least to practice with before doing any damage to a newbie's solo?

Refurbished Solos are only $200 on Best Buy. Why not practice with the real thing?

I started out with the Syma X5 which you can easily fly indoors. (Was about $50)

I then switched to the X8C at about $100 which is about the same size as a Phantom. (I wouldn't fly it indoors). I still take it out occasionally to mess around with. It is very tough- I've hit my house several times with no damage aside from some bent props, which I just bent back in place and kept flying.

Thanks guys......I do have a Syma X5 I could mess around with. And, I just got a box full of solo parts today from B&H (and a few spare solos), so I guess I might as well smash up the solo. LOL!
