In the first step to realizing my dreams of world domination via quad-drone swarms, over the weekend I went to a hobby store right down the street from my house to shop around. I want the first one I buy to be crap because Im sure that Im going to spectacularly fly it into my driveway pavement as soon as I take it out of the box. The store has a pretty good selection but the prices were around 2x the cost for the same drones on Amazon. Fortunately, they have a flight simulator set up where you can "try them out", and as predicted, I flew them spectacularly into the ground. I think I will just start out with a $50-100 drone until I get the hang of it.
