Is the Inspire 1 a good drone starter aircraft?
I'm not sure this question will remain open long but here's my $0.02:



You will definitely want to learn to fly a cheap quadcopter before going expensive. Quadcopters are not that easy to fly (there is a lot going on at the same time: 6 degrees of freedom being controlled in a changing frame of reference depending on orientation to a stationary pilot). 

I crashed my cheap one a lot learning to fly it despite it being pretty stable, but it is robust and takes a good beating. A cheap one is a very low risk and pain compared to the one you're looking at: You're not going have to break a lot on the expensive one to recoup the investment of becoming acquainted to quadcopters before you started.

Quadcopters may become a little 'smarter' as you go more expensive and be more stable, but it still requires good piloting.
