Product Description
Bladestar is a revolutionary indoor flying machine that changes helicopter flight as we know it. This is the first flying toy with a sensor-based navigation that enables it to glide itself through the air as it avoids ceilings and other obstacles. Alternatively you can control it with the three-channel digital IR controller, and with the dogfight accessory attached you can face-off two bladestars to see who will win. When you notice power loss, simply recharge right from the controller. Made from light "high-flex" materials and designed to be crash-resistant, Bladestar is built for indoor flight. Requires 6 "AA" batteries, not included.

The only good about this item was the price at Amazon.com.
I am really glad I didnt pay full price and shipping.
The product does not preform properly and is very fragile. I am 64 yrs old and have dealt with models and delicate items my entire life. Giving this to a child even over 13 is. well not a good idea.
I also ordered the Dragonfly and found it to be somewhat a better toy, but still caution a childs use. Both of these require a lot of space and the manufacturer says outdoor use is limited to perfect ( no wind of any kind ) weather.
Battery life died after 5 charges

Its a pretty cool toy, but after about 5 or 10 charges, the battery life inexplicably went from 5 minutes to about 5 seconds. My 8-year-old loved it enough that shes demanding we exchange it, so well see if this purchase can be salvaged.

Bladestar is a decent flying toy but might not be what you expect.
It is a unique flyer with a novel form of operation. I had expected rotating blades around a stationary center but was incorrect. Actually via two outlying propellers the entire toy spins to achieve flight this in an interesting twist on regular flight. I quite enjoy that it spins like a top on the ground just before lift off. Also, due to its spinning nature, if you get in trouble just kill the throttle and it will spin fairly gently to the ground.
If you expect that you will be swooping about the house with it like it is a helicopter you might be disappointed. It does not swoop. Maneuvering is achieved via specifically timed engine pulses (it does not tilt) which, while interesting, does not make for fast or exciting flight. It takes some practice but you can get it to move where you want, just not really fast. It does however hover better than any small battery operated helicopter Ive flown, being able to hover in place quite well. Up and down flight handles quite well too.
The control takes getting used to, especially if youre used to radio control. This is IR control (for weight savings Im sure) so is line of sight. Meaning you must keep the controller pointed at the toy. If you forget and dont point at the toy then it will not accept any commands. At first Id find myself forgetting from time to time but now that Im used to the control scheme (hey you have to figure one out for every video game, why not a toy?) its fairly intuitive. It does have safety features built in to shut off if it does not receive a signal for a certain amount of time.
It has an autopilot and regular RC mode. I like the RC mode but in autopilot it will automatically avoid walls and ceilings and such (the lighter color the better). Ceiling fans (off of course) it does not do so well with. I just dont like the loss of control but a kid may get a kick out of trying to move it by placing their hands in front of it.
Battery life is as advertised. Controller takes 6 AAs but this is because the toy charges from the controller (much like the smaller Airhogs helicopters). It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to charge and will fly about 5 - 7 minutes - this isnt bad for this size toy.
A big positive is that it comes with a carrying/storage case. So instead of just chunk it in the closet when not in use I can pack it in a nice sturdy case which is nice. It also comes with an extra set of blades and an extra set of propellers as well as the dogfight controller attachment but as I dont have two of these to fight with I cant opine in its usefulness.
In closing I will say that had a paid full price not knowing exactly what I was getting I might have felt a bit ripped off to be honest. But I lucked out and found one on clearance. I hope if you plan on buying one that these details help you be better prepared for what you are purchasing.
amazing

it can fly over 10 minutes for one full charge.
i think because my ceiling is not smooth, so the top sensor is not worked well.
my suggestion is you have to read instruction before play.
Awesome!!!
