My child started asking about a remote control airplane about 2 months before his 4th birthday. I didn't get it because you just don't get a 4 year old RC airplane. It's Christmas six months later and she still wants that plane. It's the only thing on her wish list. After much searching, this was the closest thing I found that looked like an airplane but had a reasonable chance a preschooler could fly it. She was super excited to open it up and fly. That. We didn't get a chance to learn all the buttons, they seemed a bit difficult because there were so many, but I think eventually we figured it all out. Unfortunately, my daughter flew high on the third run. over our roof and down the street, never to be seen again. Oops! All in all it really looks like a great value. I suggest flying in incredibly open spaces!
