    Need "extension cord" for extended flight times

    http://youtu.be/g8J0z1RohfI NightFlyer just posted this video the other day. You would be removing the battery weight to balance the wire weight and get extended flight time with a bigger battery that would stay on the ground.

    What's the best inexpensive quad just for fun

    I think you will be happy with it. There is a video where a guy added an fpv camera to his. That and goggles would be a lot of fun. Although it adds $300 plus to the price.

    What's the best inexpensive quad just for fun

    I had and have a Dromida Ominus. I too was stupid/cocky and under estimated the winds and lost it. But I have another, it is very stable, flys great indoors and out. If you go high have a large open area around you. You get 12 minutes fly time, very durable for building confedence.
