Review: Sometimes it’s harder to grab the attention of teen boys and pull them away from the fun and excitement of computer's and video games. This hot little product will keep your teen boy entertained for hours.

Criticism: The cons I have found with this product though can be the ten minute flight time with up to a 30 minute recharge time so make sure you have something to captivate your child's time while your waiting for this item to recharge. It is best used in calm outdoor weather. Despite these issues I have experienced the kids having fun and enjoying flying their Gyrotor. The kids will be lined up waiting for the time to pass when they are recharging.
