We had to use this outdoors since it was so hard to get it to trim out properly. Had a few good flights. Battery did not last more than 3 minutes. First crash, one of the motors broke off, the cage did not help at all. shortest ownership of a drone yet. Did not even get to try any stunts, very top heavy and hard to control at lower throttle speeds.

One of the most fun drones to fly for the price

I bought a couple of these from BestBuy. They are very fun to fly. I was not able to fly it initially and it was not lifting in the air, though the rotor blades were rotating in full. Figured out from a youtube review that there are two kinds of rotor blades A and B and need to be installed in specific order. Once that was corrected, drone started flying. The manufacturer needs to have clear instructions in the manual about installing the blades, since that part is missing.

Neat Drone. Mind the propellers

Very cool. I had the same issue at first that some of the reviews and comments shared, not being able to fly or get off the ground. The propellers included with the drone are 2 groups, A & B. You need to have offsetting orders of both groups, Front - B - A and Back - A - B, to achieve take-off. I had three B and one A for most of the first day trying to fly the drone (the instructions includes this info on the last page, maybe should be on the getting started section?). After getting that sorted, controls great, very fast even on the first speed. Very short battery, my only real knock on the drone, but the charging doesn't take ages either.

This drone is a blast! Very easy to assemble and charges in less than an hour. Once you get the trim set correctly the drone flies like a dream. I suggest taking it outside if you plan on flying it on any speed above the lowest setting because this thing will move fast.

Mom got me the no camera model for x-mas. I enjoyed it and it flew good started to recharge and all seemed good so I threw out the box. Put the battery back on and it started to sputter. The recharger was cheap and it turned out the usb connector was off Of course I find this out after I threw out the packaging making a return or a refund impossible. I did find a replacement at Brookstone with a different model recharger that still worked well. So now I got 2 planes and one charger, oh well. I will definitely be suspicious of Propel products in the future

This drone is super fun and easy to use. But I would reccomend keeping it on channel 3 and not 4 otherwise it just spins and doesn't change direction. I panicked and hit the throttle now its gone in the clouds cuz it lost connection with the controller. :'(

Bought twice, didn't work either time

We bought this as a Christmas present and did not work. It would not come off the ground, just spin its propellers. So I returned it back to the store and was going to get another one since it was a Christmas gift for a little boy. There were no more in stores, so I had to order it. When we gave it to the little boy again and he tried it, it didn't work again and just did the same thing the other one did! I would think it was human error, but with both about ten people tried to get it to work with no results. Unfortunately, I didn't get it back from the little boy in time to return so I stuck with a non working Batman Drone.

Doesn't Fly!

I bought this micro drone in hopes of being able to fly it around like batman but was sadly mislead when the drone wouldn't even lift off the floor/table top. This drone fails to do what it's designed for and is not worth the $40 unless you're one of the few people who somehow are able to fly it.
