First off, if you're looking for a serious drone this isn't the product for you. This is intended more as a toy than anything and it does a great job at that for the cost. It really easy to get the drone itself flying but setting up the course and app is way more time consuming. You don't need to do any of that in order to enjoy this product, though, so I gave up on that after a few minutes of fighting it and have just been having fun with the youngsters teaching them how to fly it. Anyone I hand the controller to can figure it out in a few minutes. I'd definitely recommend getting an extra battery or two.

Hi all. I love this item. I bought 5 batteries at about 10 dollars a piece. Stay away from ebay batteries.. you never know what you are getting most of them are dead and wont recharge. This drone does what it says, it flys and flys,, no way can you loose. It rarely ever broke any thing... If you loose control you hit return land and it does that. Now theres no GPS on it, but it sets down really quickly in case you loose control of it. I have kept it in safe mode and love the blank out of it,, it auto hoovers, it flips, and now they are giving it away for 25 dollars... for pennies on a dollar,, I might buy it again. The batteries are only 5 to 7 minutes,, but with 5 batteries you can have a lot of fun. Remember the key words its not a thousand dollar drone, its a toy drone. But its fun as stuff. Since I live in the desert,, i do get lazy,,well one day I left it in my trunk of my car,,, all 5 batteries expanded,, thus I can not fit them in the drone,... Ok I learned my lesson on batteries... but its still a good toy and 2 of those batteries were bad chargers anyways.. I have paid 99 dollars when they first came out,,so yea this is a good deal. Order another battery from a trusted site,,

Fun way to get flying for around $20. Once you get it setup it's pretty fun. The app doesn't work properly. You can time your individual laps with the included beacons and free app but none of the co-op or multiplayer functions work correctly. Attempted to connect on numerous devices never worked. Flight time is roughly 7-10 minutes. With the prop guards on you have a more durable aircraft better flying experience with them off. For someone wanting to learn how to fly it's a cheap fun start. If you can get this for $20 it's nice not worth anything near retail due to what is advertised versus what's delivered.
