The reviews mentioned this was good for most younger kids. I would agree with that. My 7 yo picked up how to work it really quick but 1 simple crash and the blade popped off. Hoping we can fix it easily. Very small screws in the blades, so make sure you have a tiny screwdriver on hand. It provided 1/2 hour of entertainment. I wouldn't buy this again until he's much older. Kind of a waste of money for a kid under 10, imo
