My 9 year old loves it. He can control it well until he panics. It lasts long enough on the battery until he gets bored with it. He’s driven it into a ground about 30 times already. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s still working

Good budget drone but risk of cheap manufacturing

Budget drone, a steal at $14 but the price reflects quality. My remote didn't work out of the box, opened it to find the wires not soldered to the circuit board, I soldered them myself and the remote works great now. Not for children, it's bigger than you think.

It's really fun

I know it says outside but I've flyed it in the house a couple of times and it crashed a couple of times but never ever the battery came loose. It's fast. I had to go on YouTube to learn how to put the battery in. I'll be playing with it a lot in the next coming weeks and months ahead.

Much Fun

This Sky Viper Type-R is a fun option for a light-weight fast drone. I was so excited that this product worked nearly right out of the box, from delivery to flying was really quick. It can accommodate multiple skill levels including a simple one-touch option for stunts. This is such a hit for my girl 👍

Good starter for my 6 year old

My 6 year old is happy with this. A bit hard to figure out the controls initially but he caught on pretty quick. Definitely not for use when it’s windy!

C'mon now...this is fun!

I’m no drone expert, but this was a ton of fun, and good for the price. I’ve flown some high-end drones before, which are cool, but I’m always nervous about crashing something that expensive. This flies great (really fast once you get into it), and looks pretty cool too. Had a blast flying it with the boys—backyard was fun, but the park was even better where we could turn it loose. Good times. Definitely recommend!

Nope

So so hard to steer. Myself, my children, and my husband all have trouble with it. We’ve accidentally ran it into us and caused injuries. It’s very fast and jerks with the slightest touch. If you’re ok with possible injuries and/or loss of the toy, go for it.

Not recommended for experienced pilots

I like that it's fast but it's really uncontrollable when not in use, I dont recommend this drone to other folks like me, the controls are very sensitive to the point i lost control a few times despite me being a experienced drone user. Won't be buying this drone again

Like a ferrari without a steering wheel

Super fast but uncontrollable. Super sensitive controls. Wouldn't hover stationary from the get go. Was listing to the right immediately. Knew we were in for trouble. Lost it in a tree within the first 15 minutes of use. So much for that. $40 wasted.
