Tech Teacher buying for class

[Scott VanKurin]

Hey, I am a middle school technology teacher looking to add quadcopters to my class. I have an 11 day class that I am going to teach Aeronautics. I would like to order 16 drones around $100 each, and I would like them to be the nano sizes so we can fly indoors with a basic opstical course. I have been looking at Hubsan X4 H107D+ with the altitude hold and the live view camera. Again I am not looking for performance, but durability, spare parts, and simplicity, as they will be routinely flown by first time flyers. Any other advise or suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!

Hi the hubsan is good and tough but as with most tiny toy quads the coreless motors dont do too well in crashes and will go after a while , you then need to replace so need to be able to solder , got lots of spare props they come in packs of 4 you will go through loads
The live view camera will have some lag to it so dont try and fly as FPV keep it to line of sight flying
Another one to look at is the ones like the Echine mini this has headless mode so is easy to fly

Thanks in advance!!

Hey Scott.........if this is gonna be indoors/classroom, then I would recommend a quad with enclosed propellers. I play with two. The Eachine E010 and the Boldclash Bwhoop B-03. The Bwhoop has altitude hold. And if you have to replace motors they are a "plug-in" and don't need to be soldered.
