Current slide {CURRENT_SLIDE} of {TOTAL_SLIDES}- Best Selling in Remote-Controlled Toys
While the Propel Bat plane is of "cool" design, and the body of the craft quite sturdy, there are components that are extremely fragile and break. The design of the HD Bat plane is very nice and when flying flies very well. The "slide in' battery tray is convenient and easy to use and charge. However, that is where it ends. The battery tray has a thin plastic clip that breaks after a few installs and removals. Worse are the clear plastic propellers that are made of an extremely brittle plastic. The Propel Star Wars drones use the same "lame plastic propellers". With or without the "training" gear, the propellers WILL most definitely break upon contact with anything inside or outside. I have been flying RC aircraft; airplanes, helicopters, and drones for over 35 years. I've not come across any propellers as brittle. This may be why Propel offers replacement packs of propellers (set of 4) and up to two packages, they say, for free. Hold on...not really free. Each order requires a "shipping cost" of $3.65 for the "free" propellers!! At the rate they break, this proposition could be quite costly. Nice product, but I have a hard time believing the designers at Propel could not have designed/manufactured more flexible propellers. Every other drone, and helicopter I own (ALOT!) sure seem to have flexible props. For what it is worth. Good Luck. Propel....I am sure you can come up with better propellers for your drone products!Read full review

It is basically and foremost a drone. However it is a touchy drone if you haven't flown one before hence one of my first ratings. I broke two sets of propellers with the safety cage in place. I had to tape on the safety cage as well. It flies fast! Quick to maneuver, therein lay my problem! I am not quick! That is why I broke the props running into things!
