This 9 year old son Quatrocopter our ABSOLUTELY wished. I was initially very skeptical, I gave the thing in terms of use for children and durability little chance. Now we have tried it and it works just fine! Our son is so well deal! He can thus easily fly over our house, and it can perform amazing stunts, but only in a fully charged state. The framework of the helicopter is made of simple polystyrene, which at first seems windy, but has by now (although on meadow) survived several falls from a greater height. But when times what breaks, then I see black for the helicopter, to my knowledge there are no spare parts (for example, the polystyrene backbone). As I said, it's our first aircraft of its kind and so far it is not to offer fun factor :)
