Bought one of these - waste of money (even at the reduced price).

They enclose a spare propellor (which ought to be a hint at what's to come!).

Its maiden flight....the propellor broke!

We then just used it with 'arm power' (I couldn't bring myself to use the spare propellor straight away!). To be fair it flies well even with arm power, but don't buy it thinking you'll get more than 15 mins use out of it!

Course I only read your post after I'd collected the one I'd reserved last night.

Still, it's only a fiver and we have fields at the back of our house so it *might* just glide to a gentle stop?

haha - okay, who'm I kidding? However if it gives the kids (and DH) just five minutes amusement during the long summer holidays, then it'll be a start!!!


Just glad I didn't pay £15 for it!
