What a waste of money….

Reviewer Comments: I feel compelled to write this review especially after reading so many POSITIVE reviews for this toy. There are several reasons why I believe it is a waste of money, but will try and keep it to a few main reasons why I think the box/instructions mislead the buyer into thinking that this toy is fun and easy.

First off, if you enjoy charging your toys repeatedbly each time you want to play with them, then this is for you. The manual says, “charge for a minimum of 20 minutes with a charge lasting approximately 7 minutes of fly time”…yes, 7 minutes. Next, it says it can fly easily in small spaces - this is absurdly false. I don’t know what their definition of a ’small space’ is, but if it isn’t in a room 20×20 without furniture, then forget about it. Now, if they mean fly it in small spaces for less than 2 seconds of fly time before it crashes, then this would qualify I suppose. The fact of the matter is, this toy can’t just ‘hover’ which I thought it might since it bosted it flys just like a dragonfly. Nope, if you don’t clear a long runway before you launch it, expect it to crash within a couple of seconds, pick it back up, and repeat….this was very frustrating and quite honestly, no fun at all.

We then proceeded to take it outside to test it out. Ha! If you have ANY wind > 3 or 4 mph, then expect the wind to take it and do whatever it wants to do with it - it simply isn’t heavy enough or powerful enough to overtake the wind.

All of these positive reviews must be coming from people associated with building/inventing it.
