I'm thinking of getting one of these for the kids to play with. This is pretty small, but it's also
relatively inexpensive.

Anyone have one of these?

Looks cool and the price is right. How old are the kids? You'd
probably have fun working with them to fly it and put it back
together. I'd think that age wise, some degree of good judgement and
manual dexterity would be desirable. That's why I don't have one
yet. :-)

They range from 16 on down. I'm thinking of the 10-13 year olds. My 11 year old granddaughter flew
this one very well. Only crashed it a couple times, and nothing broke.

But after seeing Harold's post, that's the one I'd go with. They're able to be flown outdoors, and
they use the 2.4GHz transmitter and receivers as opposed to the infra-red on the Syma. That thing is
a hell of a buy.
