I'd like to hear what the recommendations are here for a squadron-level training drone. We want to keep it under $200.
In that price range we have a lot of squadrons starting with the Tello:

It'll help teach the basics, until you are able to move up to a Mavic or Phantom.
Tello. It's a training wheels drone. Very easy and it can't get too far away from you. And you can use it for a CAPF 5U to start you off as a CAP sUAS Pilot. Get the $129 kit that comes with extra batteries.
Thanks all!
