it's fun to play with, but definitely for older kids. I found it easy to set up and the controls were easy to learn. It's very light so even the slightest breeze (like even the draft from the vent) will blow it off course. It has an internal "gps" that tries to keep it stationary but it's just not strong enough to counter the air current. Outside is even worse because a small breeze will make it fly over the fence. It's best in a big open room or gymnasium. The controls aren't quite fine enough to do any fancy "threading the needle" tricks, but you could probably make an obstacle course where it goes through a hoop or something. It has a good safety feature where if it hits something it will automatically stop, but the blades could still hurt if it gets caught in your hair or something. It is easier to control than most "drones" but still, for not much more money you could get a drone with a camera so idk. When I was a kid, this would have been the coolest thing and would have made me very popular. Now days though, kids get board so quickly that I don't know how long it would be fun before it gets old
