The 15 year old I bought this for wouldn't take it outside to play with it, wouldn't read the instructions and generally annoyed his father with it. But that's fifteen for you.

When I got a chance at it I found it easy to fly and maneuver, even in the house. The charge lasts about 7 minutes which doesn't seem like a lot but prevents the toy from becoming boring. I would recommend this for any age except 15.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: WowWee Robotic DragonFly - Green (49 MHz) (Electronics)

This is a really great flying toy, out of all the air hogs planes and other various flyers I owned the controls for the dragonfly are by far the best. This is very easy to fly and fun however it does seem to have problems climbing but still, you can get it up in the air fairly high. It also goes at fairly fast speeds when you remove the tail ribbon. Flytech dragonfly does make it a great indoor flyer as well, once you get good that is. And its not like you need a huge empty basement or something to fly it in, I fly mine in my living room all the time which is only about 20 feet wide. If your flying indoors make sure you have the tail ribbon on and the controller is set to expert, expert allows the dragonfly to turn much faster and sharper which really helps avoiding obstacles, but for your first flight make sure to have it on beginner and be outside. The thing is pretty durable as well (I've had mine for over a year and it hasn't broke yet..) those flimsy wings are actually alot more durable than you would expect and if they do happen to break you get a backup pair that comes with it. I guess the only downfall to this is that it can't tolerate any wind, and I mean ANY wind. Just the slightest breeze will have it crashing left and right. But yeah overall this thing is awesome, pick one up if your into flying toys.

It's Christmas morning. Where is my 6 year old? Not playing the new handheld video game. Not playing with the new RC track vehicle. Nope! He's out in the backyard flying the Dragonfly around. He ran outside as soon as it was light after giving it a brief charge, and I just knew I was going to hear screams of frustration. Instead, I heard giggles of excitement and JOY in just two minutes. He's flying this thing around the yard, doing unintended but still impressive stunts under the sliding board and through the swingset. He's still got a lot to learn about control, but it flies itself well enough that he can do this on his own and stay aloft for 20 seconds right off the bat.

I'm extremely jealous, and I want one of my own. Guess I'll be back at the store getting another one for me, as I know I can't pry it out of his hands! GREAT choice!
