Great beginner drone for children aged 14 and over!

This is a good little entry-level drone that does what you want it to do. I found it easy to set up and only took 50 minutes to charge. This takes some getting used to if you've never flown a drone before, but that's to be expected. I found it quite durable as I broke it a few times. The only damage was one of the propellers that flew off and I couldn't find it in the yard. Luckily, it comes with several spare parts that are very easy to replace. You must be careful to install the correct one as they are marked A and B and you must install them on opposite sides of the drone to ensure they work properly. If the letters A and B are hard to see you need more light, I just went outside and could see the markings pretty well. You will need 2 AAA batteries which are not included but all you need is a small screwdriver to remove the battery compartment. Make sure you read the instructions before attempting to operate it because while it's fairly intuitive, it does require a bit of reading to be able to pair the remote and get off the ground. I recommend a spacious area with as few trees and shrubs as possible. The drone is small and black, so it's not easy to tell if it's stuck in a tree or bush. Overall it was fun and easy to use, but probably a bit difficult for young children. I would stick with the recommended age range of 14+, I think they have easier drones for younger kids. This is a good drone for beginners that doesn't cost a fortune and if it breaks it won't break your bank. This makes learning drones easy and fun.
