I'm thinking of getting one of these for the kids to play with. This is pretty small, but it's also

Anyone have one of these?

I have one of these it takes a beating and comes back flying.
UDI U818A

Wow, even with the camera that's not a bad price at all.

That is just what I'm looking for. But I'll get the U817A. Don't need the camera.

Looks like it could hit a few walls and stay alive.

Thanks for the comeback.

I'd like one that can float so I can fly it around the boats and not
worry about it sinking.

Or tie a couple empty plastic water bottles to the bottoms:

That last one seems to do better than the first. The last half of the video gives the copter
perspective.
