You may also need to be careful when attaching and detaching the USB cable as the recharging port is located immediately below the frame, making it a little awkward to access. The drone is controlled by moving your hands close to the drone, as though you’re pushing it (but without touching it) and it will then move in the desired direction. For example, if you want the drone to rise up, you move your hand in an upward motion beneath the drone. The drone then reacts to the air currents created by your hand. The drone, cable and booklets are contained within a molded, clear plastic tray that slides into the box. The drone fits snugly into the tray with no movement, so there’s little danger of the drone being damaged in transit, Assembly and Getting Started

Easy Remote Control Drone for Kids: Fly this upgraded mini RC drone for boys and girls with a push of a button; launch, land, perform 360° flip drone stunts at 3 speeds with the easy-to-use 2.4 GHz remote transmitter. Light up the sky day or night with this UFO drone toy featuring 11 multicolored LED light modes! Once you’ve powered the drone on, the light on top will flash several times before turning green to indicate that it’s ready to fly. Since there’s no remote control, the drone can be launched by placing it in the palm of your hand and then pushing it up into the air or dropping your hand away. The drone will then rise up and hover, waiting for you to interact with it. The stated flight time is about 7 or 8 minutes and it seemed quite capable of sustaining that. The indicator light on top will turn red when the battery is low and the drone will eventually land itself. The problem here is that There are two speeds – medium and high – that can be set before flight by pressing the power button once. The indicator light on top will be green when the speed is set to medium and blue when it is set to high. If anything, the default medium speed is already a little too fast (especially for younger children) so there seems to be little point in setting the speed to high unless you’re well practiced with it. The UFO is clearly meant for younger children. By making it possible to fly the drone without a remote, they’ll be able to have fun with their own drone without having to pester anyone to fly the family drone. It can also be enjoyed by adults too, making this a good option for playtime with the kids.

Is the UFO a toy? The short answer is yes, but it’s a fun one and one that’s sure to keep kids (of all ages) entertained. It’s not meant for use outside, which is arguably a plus since your kids will be able to use it at any time, regardless of the weather. It’s lightweight, so it has less potential to cause damage (or be damaged) and it’s inexpensive, so it’s good value for money and won’t break the bank if it gets broken. Overall, it’s a solid investment that can pay dividends in some much-needed quiet time for Mom and Dad. Lastly, if you want to stop the flight, you’ll need to grab the drone and then flip it over. Once the light is a steady green, you can launch it again.
