Waste of money
I bought this toy because of all the rave reviews I read here on Amazon. So many people have had good luck with this toy and I can't believe how disappointed I am. We can't get it to fly. It takes a nose dive straight into the ground. I have tried all the tips that others have posted and it's no good. I actualy bought 2 of these, one for each son. Luckily we have only unwrapped one so I can return the other and I am only out of the cost of one.

A Fun Toy
My grandchildren and I are having great fun with this toy. It's only draw back is it doesn't do well in ANY wind. So, we clear out the garage and fly it there. It's tough and takes a beating with these kids.

Lovely toy . . .breaks easily!
I came across this toy in Walmart on sale for $25 bucks and my 8 yr old son LOVED it. It is a really cool and fun toy for a boy that age. It broke in 3 days. I assumed it was just my son being rough and he was devastated so I ordered it on Amazon. It broke after another 3 or 4 days. This toy is not durable.

Cool concept, poor execution
My 8-yr old had this dragonfly on his Christmas wishlist and got it from a relative. We read the instructions, took the dragonfly out of the box and flew it for a few minutes - indoors - and on the fourth or fifth fall, from not very high up, the wings broke in two places. I was helping my son, and we were not at all rough with the toy, but still it broke incredibly easily. My son was really disappointed, so I phoned WowWee customer service and was told to take photos of the broken wings and email them in. So then I did that, and received a one line reply telling me to buy new wings on the WowWee website; apparently, the wings are not covered in the "warranty". When the dragonfly broke so quickly, my son said, "This toy sucks!" and I have to say the same of WowWee's customer service. Needless to say, we won't be buying any more of WowWee's products.

A wonderful substitute for an rc airplane
This is a great substitute for un reliable and delicate rc airplanes. Also its more fun than airplane because all an aiplane does is spin its propellers, crash, and break. Flytechs on the other hand, are relible, fun, and durable. They flie great on a windless day but they are bothered by even the slightist gust of wind. On a nice and sunny day, the flytech is pretty radical. They fly at a "high" speed for a small and cheap toy. And they are very derable and survive in situations that an airplane would just explode. Mine got stepped on and it flies great still. The only complainable thing is the life of the battries, charging for 30 minutes and giving 15 minutes of flight is reasonble. And another good thing about batteries is that it charges straight from the remote, unlike other fliers which must be brought indoors to charge. And with little practice, you can, or least I can, get airtimes of 5-7 minutes without crahing or landing. Overall, the fly tech dragonfly is great in all departments, Durabilty, fun, and reliable more than an airplane that would just blow up.
