REMOKING R605 RC STEM Drone Mini Racing Quadcopter Headless Mode 360Cflip 4 Channels Altitude Hold Game Educational Building Toy Science Kit (2.4GHz)

I am quite happy with this little drone. Assembled weight, with the battery, is a mere 40 grams, well below the US FAA UAV registration threshold. However, this unit performs more like its bigger brethren as regards its nimble and responsive flight characteristics. Assembly was a snap (no pun intended), and the battery required only 15 minutes to come up to full charge. The controller uses three 1.5V "AAA" cells, alkaline type preferred. The joysticks are fully spring loaded, and thus will always return to their center "idle" positions, unlike the controllers for some other lightweight drones that I have flown. I like the fact that this drone is equipped with protective frameworks for the propellers, and I also like the audio feedback from the controller in certain modes. My single biggest "dislike" for this unit is the fact that there is no power switch on the drone. This necessitates disconnection of the battery in order to power down the drone and to charge the battery. I foresee early failure of the battery lead plug and/or receptacle due to the repetitive exercising of this plug. I am certain that a charging port and a power switch could have been engineered into the design of this drone, which would have made it near perfect. None the less, it is a good value for the price paid, and it seems to be of good quality and performance. Definitely a winner!

Though overall good, I was a little disappointed in the build and kit quality. After having to resolder some wires, we were able to get it up and running but not particularly well. I learned likely as much as my Grandson in that I need to be a more cautious buyer.

This is a neat little project for a kid. Our son loved putting everything together and then being able to fly it. The battery dpesnt last very long. But for the price its worth the science project!

This is really neat! For anyone that likes putting models kits together or puzzles, this is for you. This is very exciting. Nothing too difficult, no soldering or cutting wires or gluing involved. Everything is color coordinated and just plugs in or snaps together, and you will have your own actual flying drone. Put your kit together and install batteries into the controller and plug the battery into the drone and get ready to have a very fun time! You can be proud that you actually built your very own flying drone that flys around and even does flips! Some adult supervision might be required for young children. This is something that can get you into the world of drone building and racing drones!

Assembly was easy and kids could do it (truth in advertising). It was fun for a bit while it lasted but there are a number of problems: - The battery lasts for 5-10 minutes, top. Not much fun. - One of the motors died after a day of use, so now I have a three-motor drone - It drifts a lot while hovering and isn't stable requiring you to constantly raise it or lower it or adjust it, even in a low air-flow room (no ceiling fans, A/C wasn't running) But when it does work it's a fun little toy. I just wished it lasted longer.
