Kids these days get the coolest toys. While most of us spent our childhoods scouting out the newest McDonalds Happy Meal toys, modern kids are designing and flying custom drones right out of the box. (I you need advice on great drones for beginners, go here.)

But who says drones have to be just for kids? Certainly not us.

Flying drones — and building your own — is something that the whole family can get in on.

Check out these different models of DIY drones, both of which are currently on sale. 

The cool thing about this DIY drone is that you can stack its specs up against any normal drone and still be impressed. It includes a 2.4 GHz transmitter for long-range flight control of a flyer engine with six-axis gyro, capable of 360-degree stunt flips with automatic stabilization, which makes flying simultaneously thrilling and intuitive.

Worried you’re going to crash? Wait, let’s rephrase — worried you’re going to break your drone when you crash on purpose? Don’t worry, the ABS plastic can survive whatever you end up putting it through, and the digital proportional control allows for incredibly precise flight, making unintentional crashes unlikely.

This standard flier normally goes for $49.99, but the Force Flyers DIY Building Block Fly ‘n Drive Drone is available now for $39.99. Include the MADNESS15 price code at checkout though and it’s just $33.99.

Why limit your imagination? This spruced-up version of the DIY flier is themed as a police officer, a firefighter, or a brave soldier, and features all the same durability and performance specs as the base model.

So choose your favorite version — cop, firefighter, or soldier — for just $42.99 (that’s 14% off the $49.99 price tag). And don’t forget to use that MADNESS15 promo code to knock that price all the way down to $36.54.
