My 10 year old got this for christmas and was so super excited, until he put it together. This thing does not fly, just tips off the launcher and falls to the floor. He spent the next 20 minutes, longer than his build time trying to figure out a way to make it fly. He even asked me which way the blades should face to lift off, and tried to get the rip cord to go the opposite direction! So sad, we will probably take it apart and never touch it again.
