Frustrating to build, Frustrating to use!
I built this with my 7 year old son as an educational 'see how it works' project. The components are poor quality, the instructions are very difficult to read. We had a hard time getting it finished and working. One it was finished it hardly hovers at all, more like vibrates its way across the floor. We though we had done something wrong but no, we checked and we built it just as the online instructions say as well. My son enjoyed the building part but it was very dissapointing in performance. The first reviewer was 100% right. Don't paint it or the weight will stop it moving across the floor at all! Luckly we found a similar product at a slightly lower same price elsewhere that not only hovers but went speeding off across the floor so the project was rescued and Dad's building skills status recovered in the eyes of my 7 year old!

hovercraft weak
this is a fragile toy which just barely works. We used lighter weight heavy duty batteries to give it a little umph. Don't dare paint it--the paint is too heavy.
It does have some educational value, but very little entertainment value.

Awesome
When I was at a science camp we made these and they were so much fun. We played with them on the floor for the rest of the day. The only downside is that it is very delicate and the propeller brakes easily. Mine broke and we superglued it back together. It broke again later. Even after we hot gluegunned it. I was 10 and i'm sure any 10-12 year old would love this!
