RC Drone Plane for Kids

me encanto

Ease of operation with practice. This gift was a winner for my grandson. He spends much time maneuvering it.

From day one it just spins out non functioning one engine won't drive. Take off doesn't work. I'm an FAA licensed pilot & airframe Powerplant technician 40 yrs. No returns? POS!

Kids loved them

This is very light weight so the wind moves it. It has a good gyro in it, and stands up to light wind. Best and funnest way to to fly is it forward with right stick and steer with left stick. Other than that it has similar controls to a drone. I've crashed it a couple of times on high speed mode (goes kinda fast) and lost 1 propeller. They give you 4 extra ones. Battery is adequate but i would have loved a higher capacity, but i get it weight is a serious issue with this quadcopter. Considering it's all made of foam, this is a great indoor plane because you won't leave marks on walls or break anything with it. You can go all out and not worry about breaking stuff. It’s also a good remote fire stoker.

Once you figure out how to actually work it, it is neat. Directions are a bit vauge. It is very light and made of some type of foam. The batteries and charger are also confusing. The charger will be red even when not charging and says it takes 40 min to charge but 1 of the batteries has been charging all day and still not fully charged

For $40 you get a great little drone shaped like a fighter jet, that is perfect for indoor fun. Its stabilizing chip built into the electronics really works to keep it level and so easy to fly. The 300mAh batteries will give you a good 10 minutes or more of flight, depending on what speed you choose. I recommend for beginners starting on the low speed setting till you get the hang of turning etc. Once mastered, which doesn't take long, you'll be going from room to room, spinning, doing flips etc. The good news is the propellers are all enclosed, so when you inevitably fly into a wall or light fixture, it simply drops to the floor unharmed, and you're back in business. I took it outside in the yard where it works fine unless there is a light breeze. In that case, it's going to get blown around and you'll have a hard time controlling it. Keep it indoors unless it's dead still outside. It's too light otherwise.

We've had this for a while and have difficulty getting the unit to work. The plane itself is very lightweight and the idea of using this to train someone on basic drone operation is good. But our result so far has been ineffective to mixed. It does come with a user manual though the print is very tiny. The manual explains set up and operation and is fairly clear and to the point. The construction of the unit is very lightweight so that it can be used fairly safely indoors. We would like to revisit this product after a few more attempts as we aren't clear on some instructions and have tried various methods. Again our results have been mixed.
