My boys aged 9 and 12 love these drones! They had fun flying them around the house until they broke and they got them for Christmas (a month ago). I think that's pretty amazing as we had other drones that went down during the day. Automatic takeoffs and landings are of great importance for young pilots. It still requires a bit of skill, but is a great introductory drone. The tricks feature is pretty cool too. Enjoy watching and happy shopping! I recommended this drone to my sister and her boys.
