I'm looking for recommendations for a good starter drone. My priorities are flight time and range as I'm mostly wanting to use the drone for outdoor exploration. If this means sacrificing camera quality, stabilization features, speed, etc. then so be it. Ideally, I would be able to find something used within my budget ($250?).

What kind of range and flight time should I expect ? Most of the drones I see are controlled by smart phone, but I also have a FlySky FS-i6 TX that I could use if the setup allows it.
