I was skeptical at first, drone for beginners for less than $100 but I was looking for one so I could teach my 4 year old son how to fly them. I'm really surprised how well this works. The remote control is very easy to use, very responsive and if you have a mobile phone you can use the app to stream the built in camera to your phone. (And the picture quality is actually pretty good!) My 9 year old daughter saw how much fun my son and I were having and she wanted to join in. It actually gave me a very good opportunity to give my daughter a physics lesson. Overall, this purchase turned out to be a great value educational toy/experience that helped me bond with my kids (which I think is really priceless).
