Very Fragile, But Unlike Any Other
This is a decent toy, but I am not sure if it is for youngsters because of its fragility. The toy has to be built from light material to make sure it can fly. The body of the dragon fly is made out of Styrofoam, like the kind it comes packaged with. The wires that that harness the wings go through a small opening in the Styrofoam to connect to the motor. If you apply the slightest pressure to the wire, it affects the manner in which the wings are attached to the motor, and the dragonfly will not fly as intended. I bought this for my 5-year old. He 'boy-handled' the toy without much concern for its fragility. Now the wings still flap, but the thing goes nowhere. Having said that, this toy is unlike any other I have seen, with its realistic flying abilities and how long it can stay up in the air. I was more fascinated with it than my son, and I was flying it one day in the rain as I couldn't wait until it stopped raining! I am getting another one, and keep a close eye on my son as he flies it, that's when I am not flying it myself! :-)
A Fun Toy
My grandchildren and I are having great fun with this toy. It's only draw back is it doesn't do well in ANY wind. So, we clear out the garage and fly it there. It's tough and takes a beating with these kids.
