Would this be okay for an advanced 8 year old

Yes, only caveat would be the wheel assembly is tough to get lined up and the treads on correctly. My son tried but did ask for my help after popping the wheels off a couple of times. Loads of fun and moves around pretty good.

It is OK. A lot of pieces, it is a little complicated, but if following the instruction carefully, the kid shall be able to set it up.

I bought it for my 11 year old. But, if you can follow simple directions, it can be used by 8 year olds to learn the basics and for fun. For more in depth knowledge of the principles and the electronics, it can be useful for teenagers.

Could be difficult to fly for an 8 year old if this is his first helicopter. As Colette stated it really depends upon the child. The is more difficult to fly than some of the toy grade helicopters. I would check out http://www.rchelicopterfun.com/helicopter-for-kids.html or the Syma S107 for an 8 year old

yes, think an 8 year old would enjoy - it has several choices of 'games' to put together - think it's also, advertised as 8 and upour granddaughter was 9 and loved it - actually think it was one of most enjoyed presents. Go for it!

I would not recommend it for under 7 years old. Lots of small pieces and can be intricate to assemble.

It should be fine. We bought it for our 8 year old. You can actually adjust the speed to 50% of max power until your child gets used to it. It was a very good purchase and fun for Dad to run as well!

It would probably be fine... It isn't too powerful for younger kids so yeah I guess it's probably fine for them

Not at all too difficult for an 8year old. Got this last year when my son was 8 years and he had no problems with it.

I would say yes, i think 8 years would be too old for it. Its about 13ish cm.

I think it would be great for an 8 y.o. boy. These are definitely not toys. They are real tools. I (the mom) actually use them when I need a tool. They are very functional and a great size for kids.

I think an 8 year old could do it but they might need a little help unless they have experience.

I would say no younger than 8 if you want them to be able to do the projects on their own. I bought this for my 6 year old and he likes to play and hook things up but when it comes to actually completing a circuit or following the diagrams he needs help which I don't mind because I enjoy it also.

Yes, I think it's probably too small for an 8 year old. I have a 3 and 4 years old grandchildren and they are just about too big for it. Hope this helps...

I bought it for an 8yr old but at the last minute decided to hold on to it for another year - there were so many pieces and thought my 8 year old might be too overwhelmed. Depends on your kid and their organization skills. Will give it as a gift this year.

They take some thinking to put together so they were great for 8 year old to assemble. My 6 year old didn't want to assemble anything and only wanted to play. Assembly is sooooo simple, I would recommend an adult assemble the characters and animals as they are the trickiest.

Yes, I believe an 8 yr. old would be able to install it and it's light enough to lift and put into place.

Jane, that is the reason I'm buying for my 8 year grandson. He like to build things. At 8 it may take a little help but I don't think it will take much.
