I bought my son a Dromida Ominus, but it ended up being too hard for him to fly as he is 6 so I've been playing with it quite a bit and it has held up really well so far. The one issue with it is that it seems a bit too large for indoors, and a bit too small for outdoors as a decent breeze will blow it around. On a calm day it is a blast.

 

Parts are cheap and widely available, my local hobby store even stocks almost all the parts for it.

 

It is $60, but worth stretching the budget by $10 IMO.     http://www.amazon.com/Dromida-Ominus-UAV-Quadcopter-Green/dp/B00NHLALDK

I found something called the "sky viper s670" for only $35 which I ended up getting. Really good handling, and not too flimsy.

Mine works fine

Blade makes some of the best small multirotors, helicopters, and planes on the market. This should do nicely http://www.horizonhobby.com/multirotor/ready-to-fly-15086--1/pico-qx-rtf-with-safe-technology-blh8200

 

Or if you save your pennies a bit, get this. It will be a better learning platform. http://www.horizonhobby.com/multirotor/ready-to-fly-15086--1/nano-qx-rtf-with-safe-technology-blh7600

Does anyone know anything about the sky viper S670? It's only $35 and seems pretty solid. @Jskn @Durzo_Blint99 @Scheer @electrolux @Hackentosher

Check out this thread, and in particular, my comments about the quadcopter I decided to pick up for ~$50.

Can confirm the Hubsan X4 is freaking great, and super fun to fly for less than 50$. Great way to get into the hobby. But if you do plan on getting it, grab a few more propellers and batteries so you can fly for a longer time in one go. 
Best to get a sub 50$ quad to learn and crash than go balls to the walls on your first quad

i agree and now for $10 more you can get the X4 with pre-installed fpv. i had one and gave it to my little brother for christmas and the only reason it died was because hes a bad pilot and flew over someones house and lost it in the downspout
