FAO Schwarz Thunderbolt Jet X2 Drone

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is such a fun toy and would make a great gift. It looks cool (designed to look like a jet plane rather than a generic box like some drones are designed). It is very easy to use and keeps all ages entertained

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Drone Thunderbolt Jet is so much fun! It is very lightweight and easy to operate. It is very durable. I think I had more fun playing with this than my 13 year old daughter. No assembly required. The best part is it lights up!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've tried out a few drones in my day but this one is definitely the most fun to fly! Very easy to operate with the help of the handheld remote control. The drone is very agile and very fun to maneuver around objects in my yard.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a very fun RC drone that is super easy to setup and use. It is very easy to fly once you have the trim settings dialed in. The stunt/barrel roll feature is hard to use as the plane drops out of the sky when rolling so make sure you start the move from a high altitude - this feature also sometimes does not even work when you press the button. Another downside is that the battery life is super short: like 6 minutes. Overall, it is a great toy but not like other more expensive drones.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This drone is really cool and fun to fly. Its made of lightweight foam for durability and can be used both indoor and out. Would highly recommend that you read the manual before you start flying it. The drone would need to be synced to the remote controller first and would need to trimmed out as well. As soon as I had turned mine on, it went straight into the wall. The controls do take a bit of getting used to so I would recommend that you fly it indoor first, less of chance of your done getting lost or damaged, and once you have everything figured out then take it for a spin outdoor. The drone can be charged with a provided USB-C cable and they also provide extra propellers for the drone. The remote controller takes 4 AA batteries which are not included. Overall, not bad and fun toy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy to fly. Charges quickly. Took a little bit to get the controls dialed in to hover but it only took about 5-10 minutes to become acclimated to the controls. Super light weight. Crashed it a few times with no damage. It also comes with 4 extra propeller parts.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is my first drone; so, I'm not an expert in the least. That said, I was kinda underwhelmed. Upon removing this drone from the box, I noticed it felt kinda of cheap. It seems to be made of styrofoam. I'll admit it was kind of fun for the first few "flights". I got bored with this quickly. I think this drone is more appropriate for a young kid.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We were really excited to try this drone. It didn't take long to get everything set up and ready to go. The drone flew up and down just fine, but it had trouble going any other direction even though we kept trying. Unfortunately a gust of wind took the drone and it flew off and we weren't able to find it. We couldn't see all that it could do. Hopefully we'll be able to find it or get another one to really have some fun!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am no expert on flying drones, so after seeing this was a good drone for beginners I was excited to give it a try. The drone itself takes about 2 hours to fully charge and the remote control will need AA batteries (not included). I used it both indoors and outdoors and had pretty much the same experience in both locations. I did have issues with constant drifting and regardless of what direction I tried to direct the drone it mainly stayed in 1 general spot. Take off and landing were the only commands that worked effectively on a continuous basis. Even after following the instructions, I was only able to get the drone to complete a barrel roll once after many attempts The positives for this drone is that it is made of a light weight foam and it seemed to withhold crashes and lessened worries of it causing damage when flying indoors. Another positive is that it comes with replacement propellers in case one is damaged or breaks. I also really liked the singular "flight" button, which makes for an easier take off and landing. Negatives are that a full charge equals less than 10 minutes of flight time. I also found the remote control to be overly complicated and the instruction manual also seemed a bit lengthy and confusing. The biggest con is the drifting, which occurs even when the "trim" button is pressed which is supposed to reduce drift. I really like the light weight foam of the drone but flying it outdoors in any sort of wind is pretty much impossible. Overall, the drone was fun to operate but I found it more frustrating than fun, and would probably steer towards a heavier body with a simpler remote if I decided to try a drone again in the future.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Our first problem with this is that it is not easy to pair to the remote. We followed the instructions, and it took a while for it to pair. Then once it finally paired, we were only able to fly it for a few minutes before it stopped and then we couldn't pair it again. Guessing it ran out of charge, but it was fully charge when we started, so it didn't last long.
