I've had my eye on one of those too. My preference is to build one, but at the rate I complete projects, I'd just have a box of parts until something better comes out.
Slickdeals listed a drone with most of the latest bells and whistles for $350.
What I really want to get into is powered paragliding. My parents already have a barn to store it in, and the land to take off and land.
I like your Pringles can idea though. Perhaps I should start by making my own antenna to get proof of feasibility with a faint signal, and spend real money only when it will improve results. I've got a coat-hanger TV antenna I built out of parts laying around, and it works pretty darn well. It needs a little beefing up to pull in signals in Silverton though.
