There are a couple little tricks to use in this little helicopter guy one hold it in palm of your hand for at least 20 seconds if you let it go too soon it flies sideways and straight into a wall. But if you wait the time and let it go it is a cool little gadget it freaks my cat's out which is the reason I got it and it entertains them. Definitely not for little kids and don't let it get near your eyes it's propellers are quite dangerous they won't cut your skin but they will hurt and I definitely wouldn't want them near my eyes they could cause serious damage.
