build your own kits would be the best best, that way the students can build whatever size or quality they can afford. I would go to hobby king's website and look around there for different frames and kits available.

Hey Kevin- sorry you cannot make it to ISTAS13. You were the first person I thought of when planning for keynotes after Marvin Minsky- you really were instrumental in pushing veillance as a domain, as soon as you embraced uberveillance... http://www.kevinwarwick.com/ http://www.kevinwarwick.com/
Folks, we have a run on tickets and they are fast going - if your in Toronto Canada on the 30th June and have any interest in 'skynet' (ps. or coming to ISTAS13 to meet Matthew Schroyer then perhaps it's time you grabbed a FREE ticket and joined the crush at Ryerson - more info here - http://uberveillance.com/uav-pros-cons

this is a great starter kit, where you have to do some assembly but everything is programmed and ready to fly once setup.
