Could this be flown by a 7 yr old?

It would depend on the maturity of the child and whether he (she) has had any experience with one of the small coaxial type helis.Flight time on a mcx2 would make the transition much easier.

It was a chore for me to fly. I'd recommend a double axis mini quad. There $20 and up. My 4 year old has no problems with hovering.

Depends on how much experience the 7 yr old has with RC airplanes or helicopters. It is very sensitive and takes a very steady hand with lots of practice to feel confident.

It's possible but you should know that this heli needs a fairly large indoor space. The Nano QX is much more controllable.

This helicopter is easy to fly, for someone who has much practice in flying a helicopter, up & down, forward and backward, left and right. I am not surehow easy it is to fly for someone else. I would recommend a flying simulator, first. Otherwise If you know how to replace parts, you will be busy. The rotor speedis slow enough to not be very dangerous. This is called fixed pitch helicopter, which means rotor speed make the helicopter fly.

My son is 5 and he can fly it just fine. It took some practice with me supervising but this thing is so easy to fly that anybody can do it!

Yes should have no issue for a 7 yr. old, it has adjustable seat and handle.

Yes, I would think so. my granddaughter turned 7 and it was a stretch for her to enjoy very long. She is about average size, also.It is very sturdy and cute.

yes definitely, our son just turned 7 and absolutely loves it. it is an impressive remote control vehicle. just make sure you get the wheelie bar with it because it keeps it from rolling over

I gave one to my 9 year old daughter last year and she flies it very well. If your boy can be calm and is fairly responsible, then he will be fine. Order a couple extra top propellers because that's the piece that takes the most abuse. Also, be sure to unplug the battery after use as running Lipo batteries dead ruins them. This helicopter is a good way to get into flying or teach kids, and its a far better buy than the cheaper ones you can get at Walmart as most hobby shops and many online retailers stock replacement parts.

I think it would be great. Our 5 yo is shorter than average, and it's a bit big for her. She manages to ride it, but I think it will serve her to age 7 at least

I think many seven year olds would feel like they're a little too old for this toy -- particularly if that seven year old has access to a tablet or a real computer.

IMO this would be too small for a 7yr old. I bought it for my daughter when she was 4, almost 5...and it's getting a bit small for her.

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

I wouldn't think so. We bought it for a 10 year old and it seems perfect. Her 12 year old sister can ride on it too. But probably not for long.

Hmmm. That would depend entirely on the child. We bought ours for a friend who was 7, but we knew he had other remote toys so he'd have an idea how to use it.

Depends on the kid. I would say 8+ for independent play. We've had young cousins fly it. But after watching and learning from others. Young kids can definitely work it, it's just not an indestructible plastic kids toy. It needs to be taken care of, charged, not left on the floor, thrown into a toy bin, etc.

The manufacturer's suggested age is 3+ but this is not at all safe for a 3-year-old. In my opinion it is appropriate for a child who is at least 9. It is possible that a very careful 7-year-old could manage it. It has small parts and it's not particularly sturdy. It will not stand alone -- it requires a doll stand.

Depends. There are very small peices, so it might be hard for 7 year olds, but it shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I wouldn't get this for anyone under 10. Unless someone elae is flying it, it takes some skill.

Thats a tough one IMO, its made of light plastic so it's safe in that aspect but the blades do spin quite fast. Would really only be a problem if it were to hit one of his eyes. It does take some practice and patience to fly correctly. With out trying to sound rude, it's possible the child may either break the item in a short period of time or lose patience trying to get to fly right. It really depends on the child and thier capabilities at that particular age. I hope this helped!
