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.

My grandson received this drone as a gift. Great for building skills to operate a drone with a remote for the price. This drone has been durable and enjoyable for him.

Easy to fly, buy it on sale

This drone is fast and fun! My son enjoys driving it around the yard and flying it back and forth. It's easy to control for kids aged 12 and older. I recommend purchasing extra batteries, as they are standard hobby batteries that can be found at hobby stores or online.

Not The Best For Begginers, Battery Isn't Very Good

I would not recommend buying this if it’s your first drone. Really fast and easy to lose track of if you’re not attentive or (and) careful enough; I almost lost the drone because I was in a field and it went out the fence and almost fell into some person’s house fence. It does not say this but the drone’s battery only lasts 20 - 30 minutes before you have to charge it again, but it also charges within that time frame. I would say it’s alright I would give it 3.5 stars but since i’m more disappointed than satisfied I gave it 3.

Drone

Not the easiest to handle in the wind but it’s definitely quick and get up pretty high would recommend even if there wasn’t a deal just don’t fly around a tree on your first day but if you do have a water bottle and fishing string at your disposal you’ll get it down in a few hours unless you went to high then good luck

Great for beginners!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. This is my first drone and overall I think it’s a good one. It has different flight modes for beginner/casual flying, which helped me, and more advanced users. The auto launch and land really helps out too. I also really liked the one touch stunts. It makes you feel like a pro without being one. I’d say it’s great for beginners but can be used by experienced users as well though might not be as fun for them with all the auto features.

Perfect for Beginners

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The Sky Viper drone is a really great beginner drone. It comes with clear instructions, and even with my 12 year old who frustrates easily, the controls didn't take long to adjust to. The drone is able to zip around and do some tricks, keeping us all entertained for quite a while. For the price I was very happy with the features and would definitely recommend as a first drone.

Small but powerful!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The Sky Viper Type R Performance Drone is definitely built to thrill. For the small size, it has a lot of power. The directions were simple and clear to get started. It has powerful propellers for speed, has the ability to go a far distance and height. It also features different flight modes. I like that the remote is easy to use and control. However, I would not suggest flying on a windy day. Overall, great flying drone!

First time drone flyer

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. What fun! Easy to set up with a fully charged drone battery (you need AAA x 3) for the remote. Connected fast and off to go flying! Love this thing!!

Great maneuverability!

I received product reimbursement in exchange for my honest review. The SkyViper TypeR performance racing drone is a precision controlled drone that combines speed, power and agility. The one-touch stunts are amazing and there is a mode for pilots at every experience level.
