I am in the market to buy my 15 year old a quadcopter. After doing a bit of research I have a few questions for anyone that may know. Fly time: seems to be in the 10-15 minute range at best, can this be increased with a better battery? Motors: Brushed motors seem to be the norm in the $50-200 range, from reading these can die after as little as 1-5 flights (10 minutes average), and this seems like its a deal-breaker. Are there models with brush-less motors in my price range? Should I be worrying? Are there good quality brushed motors that can be recommended? Range: seems to be around 100-200 feet, and this seems ok but I don't know for sure SAFE: seems to be software stabilization, and necessary to not destroy your quadcopter immediately, allows for learning for a beginner. is this the case? Video recording: I am not married to video recording but it seems like it would be a nice feature. You tube videos tell me that I need to spend at least $500-1000 to get a reasonable HD video model.. but maybe there are mods, etc that can be done.
