I'm in my fifties and decided to have some fun with the drone. I chose this device because it was advertised as being easy to use. Oh my god yes, it's easy to learn. I didn't want to spend an ungodly amount of money just to crash the drone a few times and break it. The drone is pretty sturdy and easy to fly. I flew around the house and outside and crashed many times. The extra blades will come in handy in the future, I'm sure. The only thing I don't like is the phone app, but I think that's because I don't use it enough and the 15 minute flight time on a single battery. Also, it's rock hard. Absolutely great for beginners learning to fly.
