does the propeller spin on battery power or you you have to spin it with your finger?

This toy does not take batteries. Imagination and your child's hands move this toy.

You can spin it manually. The only thing that works on battery power is the drill.

I don't have mine anymore (boys outgrew it) but if I remember right it's about 18-24" from nose to tail. The manual spin means the kid has to use his hand to spin the propeller, it doesn't go by itself or have a trigger pull or anything. It spins freely.

No. It's just like most Lego vehicles without power function. My kids play with it by pushing or pretending it's flying.

You simply rotate it with your finger. Each rotation sort of "locks" in place, but it is pretty easy to rotate to the next step.

The globe does turn on and makes a very soft glow that is great for kids as a night light FYI. The globe can spin but not on its own power. You can spin it but it is not motorized to spin. Hope that helps. (My son loves this thing.)

Balancing a propeller means that you are adjusting the center of gravity to the center of the propeller shaft. You can do this by adding weights or by shaving off some material usually very small amounts. The result is no vibration when the prop is spinning due to offset (mass) weight. It is like balancing wheels but long and skinny.

It just spins. Works well in my opinion. My only complaint is with the design of the base. You cannot charge it while it is on the base.

It doesn't, I'm almost 100% sure of it. It gets power via either AA batteries or a USB connection. FYI: My fan stopped working after using it for just one week. I can't figure out what's wrong. Hugely disappointing since it's so quiet and has a nice appearance.

I used it without battery. I also turned on without battery, I manually using strap on

No, it doesn't. You basically just hold it and it tells you things to do "spin like a top." My kids LOVE this toy.

If it is battery operated, all you have to do is reverse the batteries and it will spin the other direction. It's a hassle but it is a solution.

It runs on the DC power of your vehicle's batteery . No additional battery required.

I am assuming they mean while riding it and the button to make it go is being pushed. Because that is the only on button, and you wouldn't charge it then anyway...lol. Great toy, my 4 year old is tough on it and uses it all the time. He has had it four months and its still perfect and charges great!!

No, you rotate the handle on the top (in the photo for the product the guy's right hand is on the knob that you turn) and that rotates the drum inside the housing on which the cord is stored. It has no motor or batteries... you manually have to turn the crank. It works great though and I give it high marks other than the price, but it's well made, so I suppose the price is justified.

The Power source is through the same cable as the signal for the Rotary motor. There is a small battery operated hand controller. It rotates either left or right with a press of a button. Very simple installation. Work's well.

My son says that you need to make sure there is no hair in the propellers because that will put it off balance also. He says the battery needs to be perfectly in the middle, you may have to push it kind of hard. You can also use the buttons on the controller to adjust it.

Ours works fine. It's a push button. Otherwise though, after first voyage, the middle propeller stopped working and the boat filled with water. We had to return the first boat due to filling, propellers not working, wouldn't go in reverse. Now, were having similar problems with the second one. Oh well, I guess it will become an expensive dust collector. Hope this helps.
