Fun, not really easy to used for little ones till they can grab the legs. It does need a bit of practice to catch and release. It needs to be in an open room, no wind (fans) and hold it vertically till it is stable and it will lift off nicely and you can guide it with your hand. If it starts to wander, grab the legs and restart. The wings do come off during an impact, but are easily reattached.

Get the insurance! Wing broke off after a couple of days when it hit something. Suggest playing with it in a big room with little furniture to hit. Stay away from walls. At least until you get use to it.

Very nice product second time I use it I don't know if it malfunctioned it just kept going up and up until it disrepair never got it back very strange .

This is such a fun toy. Both my five-year daughter and I enjoy watching it fly it around. It might actually work too well. This one is actually a replacement one. The first one she got, she took outside on a windy day and a wind gust took it right over our fence and we couldn't find it again. Now we only fly it inside.

Purchased the Hatchimal Pixie Flyers (both pink and purple) for my child thinking this was a toy. It turns out that these things are slightly short of being an effective surveillance weapon for the military. My teenage son discovered that if you turn on the pixie and place it in the launch pad but hold down the pixie for 30 seconds with your index finger, you can launch the pixie between 20 to 30 feet vertically. When he figured this out and launched the pixie, I ended up chasing the "toy" down the block and had to recover the pixie from a neighbor's yard. That ended the fun in our yard. Instead, we took the pixies to the local soccer field and played with them their to witness their full potential. We recorded vertical heights of 20 to 30 feet and horizontal flights of anywhere from 100 to 300 yards depending on wind pattern and potential lift. The pixies worked most effectively in light or no breeze conditions. Not only did my youngest child play with these but so did my 13 and 22 year old, as well as myself (48 year old father). Very durable design. Pixies took many strikes but were easily repaired and on their way again. Most common repair is the replacement of the plastic skirting which snaps into place easily due to the well thought out design. Full charge is achieved in one hour. Charging cables are included.
