Drone first-timer
 

Im just getting into drones. For beginning drone flyers, including cluelessness about calibration, what is the best drone to get?

Do you live somewhere that gets sudden gust of wind? One that doesn't cost too much because first gust of wind and it's history :(

I do not, any suggested brands or models?

I'm no expert in drones, but in general, you get what you pay for. There are toys and there are real drones. And they are priced accordingly.

I got a high end toy, and it got caught in a tree, but I got it down with a football. (Udi R/C UFO U818A) Also, I found out that it's illegal to fly them in my backyard, so I haven't taken it out of the box in a year.
