Fun and not impossible to understand.

Difficult to get started and very difficult for kids to get started but when they do it's quite fun. This is our first drone and while we haven't switched to buzzing yet, it held the kids' attention for about half an hour, which is pretty good for such a complex toy. I wouldn't say it falls into the same category as real drones, but in my opinion it looks pretty cool and flies pretty well. But like I said, I'm new to drones so I have nothing to compare. The controls took a while to get used to,

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

I TRIED to make this work but it doesn't levitate and the X-Wing spins and flips over. I tried it in the park by my house and it's just awful. I've never made an X-wing fly. It also doesn't produce any sound effects, making it a total loss in terms of experience. In my personal opinion, do not buy this, you will be very disappointed and feel cheated. In truth it was a gift from my wife and now she regrets not looking at the reviews she said. My daughter bought one at the mall for $20 and it…

The Death Star doesn't fly well - needs a large open space

The X-wing drone itself is worth the price. It flies and handles very well and looks cool. I have been flying drones professionally for a while and love playing with the little ones for my grandson. I kept this to myself until he gets older as at that point he will just destroy him. I went through two of them to see if the Death Star works better and it's really about the same. It doesn't stay in the air for very long and wanders around in space. If you live in a high school, that would be…

Absolutely TERRIBLE. DO NOT BUY

Absolutely TERRIBLE. DO NOT BUY! I even bought two of these for each of my kids to play with. Well it's a joke! None of them fly. I charged 60 minutes the first time, 45 minutes the second time, and over an hour the third time. One hangs just 2-3 inches off the ground, and the other spins all the time on the rear wheel and slides back without leaving the ground. I tried replacing the blades hoping it would help but no improvement. EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED. I am hoping for a refund/refund. I can't

Pros
  • Easy Installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Pure disappointment - broken out of the box.

Although the reviews were mixed I saw some really funny videos about this product on YouTube so I decided to give it a try. It arrived today and I was a little shocked to find the entire package was dented and had a Target registration sticker on it! The Death Star was smashed right out of the box so I couldn't even verify it. After charging the X-wing and putting the batteries in the remote controller, I tried to fly the RC X-wing drone for an hour but to no avail. I read the instructions on…

Pros
  • Positive Only
Cons
  • Will do

fun while it lasted.

OK. Here's what you need to know before purchasing this item: (1) Your Death Star may or may not function properly. The instructions state that you must press the controller's power button and then press the Death Star's launch button for it to work. That's wrong, at least for me. After some trial and error with each button and sequence, I found that the controller's power button needs to be pressed and HOLD in the ON position (if it's blinking), THEN press the start button while holding the…

Pros
  • Many will do
Cons
  • Some difficulties
