Product Description

Nominated for a Hamleys Awards, with the Dragonfly you're in control of your own flying insect robot. Indoors or outside, it is perfect for dive-bombing your mates or keeping the neighbours on their toes. Dragonfly flutters, swoops, flies and dives at your command.

With its ultra-light body and crash-resistant structure, Dragonfly can't do itself (or anything else) any real damage.

Dragonfly is rechargeable but you will need 6 x AA batteries for the radio-controller.

The fun of Dragonflys (2007-12-18)

So much fun. Bought mine a few weeks ago and I have not put it down. It is so much fun. It is easy to learn to fly but then you can start to do tricks etc and use the more advanced mode that is a bit more difficult, but allows you to try new tricks etc.I looks quite fragile but actually it is very tough even after several major crashes it is still in one piece.FUN FUN FUN is all I can say

waiting....... (2007-11-25)

hiya, i've been reading peole's comments, i have to say 9/10 are very good, i've not yet got mine, i should get it on tuesday 27th novemeber, im 17 years old and thought this might actually be fun to play with my younger dissabled brother who is now 12, yes i have to admit, its abit to much in cost, but what the hell, (IT FLYS) or so it seems, i cant wait to get mine, and see how it actually does, i have a big gargen, and a big house too, so i should be able to have hours of fun (hopefully) no idea what im letting my self in for, lets hope its no bad!!!!!!!!

Tricky but Worth it (2007-11-07)

I can understand people who have been frustrated trying to get these things to fly but don't give up! First of all I would recommend a fair bit of space to get a feel for the controls and I would say leave the riband on the tail to start with. If you get a dead calm day take it to a field or park. Secondly (and probably the most important thing) do not use too much throttle, just a touch is enough (especially indoors), if you give it too much it will just climb and stall. To start with I would also try flying in circles until you get the hang of the throttle (means you only have to worry about one control).It really is just a case of being very light on the controls but once you get the hang of it it is amazing to watch. Build quality wise it looks a lot more fragile than it is; I think the only way to break it is to stand on it! As long as it is not deliberatly abused it will last a long time. It also comes with a spare set of wings and also a spare tail rotor - which is taped to the plastic bag for the remote ariel so watch you don't throw it out by mistake. The only thing is the paint rubs off it quite quickly but you can just repaint it yourself. They are also available in two control frequencies ( Green or Blue Dragonfly) so two people can fly at the same time. All in all an amazing flying machine. My father who is retired was absolutley entranced with it so I bought him one for his birthday. Truly something which can be enjoyed whether you are 7 or 70.

This is such fun. (2007-11-03)

My seven year old son got this bought for him for his birthday and he loves it. He could fly it on his first go. We have been flying it inside the house and out in the garden and it has done well on both and we havn't got a big house or garden. It charges up quick and I think seven minutes is long enough flying time as kids get bored easily. It is a tough thing too which suprised me. But I can see us going through a few pairs of wings until my son becomes an expert. A great toy and a lot of fun for any age.
