That was one I was looking at as a replacement.OK, set it up and flew it a few times today. The first time I kept it low and near my driveway and showed off for the kids. Next, unfortunately, it got stuck incredibly high in my neighbor's oak tree. Spent 20 minutes tossing my football (a gift from my second grader) at it before eventually getting it down without crushing it. Obviously, I'm not good at flying it but my god it's fun! After that we took it up to our local middle school and flew it around the football field. I took it very, very high there, really wowing my guys. Around this time, I noticed it continued to lean as it flew in one direction. I don't know if one of the four propellers isn't operating at full speed or what, need to check that out tomorrow. I have not tried the still or video camera function yet. DO NOT FLY IT INDOORS. I don't know what these cost, it was a gift from my Dad. It is definitely fun, but also feels a tad cheap Chinese-y.How is this really different than plastic kites?No string, cameras, and lots of zoom-zoom power cool factor?

This website sucks
My Dad got me a 1 month membership to beer of the month club; I'm 8.5 months pregnant.
Got this set from my Dad. I have a couple of little projects that need done right away and after that I'll probably just go around my house breaking crap on purpose so I have a reason to use them some more.
