At launch, the Hubsan H502S Desire was one of the very best toy-class drones that Hubsan produced. It rocks basic GPS and flight features like a follow-me mode. The little drone still has brushed motors, which is a clear distinction in the Hubsan line between their low and high-end models, the higher end models have brushless motors. Don't hold this against the H502S, it may not be as fast or battery efficient as the brushed models, but it still flies very stable, holds a hover quite well and the FPV through the 720p camera gives you that fun flight experience.

You can get into the Hubsan H502S Desire for around $100 today, that's approaching half of its initial price at launch.

The UDI U818 series has a few drones to speak of, one of the best is the U818A HD+. The HD+ model comes with a 720P camera and some basic GPS functionality. This is a toy-class drone, the type you have likely seen in the electronics department of your local supermarket. There is little to say about this machine, it flies fairly well, for a toy-class machine, it is affordable and is great to learn on. There is no FPV, the camera just records and takes photos for viewing afterward.

Check out the UDI U818A HD+ for around $80.

As you may have noticed, Parrot makes a lot of drones. Most of their machines are toy-class or commercial drones, with a few in between. Parrot likes to play with different designs, including fixed-wing planes and, like the AR Drone 2.0, standard quadcopters. The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 is like most of their machines, made of foam and plastic. This is great for making light-weight crafts that are easy to operate, and safe for young pilots.

The Parrot AR Drone 2.0 offers a 720p camera for FPV flight, and holds up very well considering its age. Check out the Parrot AR Drone 2.0 from around $180. Be forewarned, this is a discontinued drone, it sold for under $100 for a time.
