I got this for my nephew for a christmas gift because it looks really kool online, but once i took it out the delivery box i was disappointed. it looks REALLY cheap. u can see through the box its made of Styrofoam (the kind the package electronics with) I mean, its cheap, but it doesn't look good at all, would be a steal at $5...[$]??? not so much.

Comments about WowWee FlyTech RC DragonFly:

Use outdoors (or indoors if you enjoy a huge interior) when there is very little wind.

This toy is amazing, durable, and keeps the kids interested far beyond the average toy.

My four year old has learned to fly it.

He can keep it in the air for twenty seconds.

I have learned, to my delight, to fly it for minutes on end...

Watch out for high tree branches!

Comments about WowWee FlyTech RC DragonFly:

My kids and I are having a great time with it. It works better than I thought it would. There is a pretty good fan base on the web for tips and modifications to make it work better.

I am going to buy a second one to take apart and modify.

Tip: Buy the extra wings. While they do not break often they do break and you would not want that to spoil your fun.

I purchased this DragonFly, and took it outside in a no wind situation. It went into the bushes,the stones in my driveway,hit me in the ankel and the face. I bought this for my Grandson, wanted to test it first.where the other comments say "durable"... I disagree,because it is styrafoam.

Comments about WowWee FlyTech RC DragonFly:

Easy to fly right out of the box. Good flight time from a charge. Awesome to watch, even the birds are curious and fly in for a closer look in disbelief. Virtually indestructible, you can cut wing flapping at 100+ feet high and with a little tail rotor input, spiral it gently back to the ground for a very soft landing. Don't get too far out of range or you may lose control and it will fly away!
