    This sucker is the hardest thing to fly that I've encountered, and I've flown MANY. The "auto landing" feature essentially just drops it out of the sky without warning, which is no way to land in my opinion, and you end up with a yard sale of drone parts for your attempt. This is all assuming you can get the trim right to stop the drifting. Even on sale I regretted buying it so for 80$ I'd say go get a couple of Syma X5C's and drone-joust as opposed to frustrating yourself with this sad disappointment.

    This seemed like it would be good for beginners. It wasn't. My 15 year old had some issues with it. The box showed younger kids playing with it. Was disappointed overall.

    This drone barely lasted 2 weeks before some of the wings stopped working and I returned it within 30 days. I have purchased multiple drones in the past few years for my son and this one was a true waste.

    This broke and the one engine stopped working in 3 weeks of having the copter. I would recommend spending a little more for a better brand.
