Wupuaait Rocket Launcher Toy with Self Launching Motorized, Launch up to 200 ft, Model Rockets with Parachute Safely Land Birthday Gifts for 8-14 Kids, Orange

This is a FUN toy! It's one of those rare items one orders that not only lives up to the seller's description, it exceeds whatever expectations one may have. There's not much to operating it...you initiate the launch with a button push, and step back. After a couple of seconds, it spins at high speed for several more seconds before shifting into 'really high speed' and taking off like a bullet. When it reaches max height, the parachute, which deploys perfectly every time, brings it down fairly slowly wherever the wind decides. I tried it in a light breeze at just the lower (100 foot) setting a few times, and it landed about 50 feet from where it began. At the higher setting, it likely needs a larger space...particularly if the neighbor's going to complain about going in his yard to retrieve it. At 30 dollars, it's a bit pricey for a kid's toy, but it's well worth it for the guaranteed delight it will bring to any child. I'm 65 years old, and I was excited to see, and hear, this thing take off! It has every bit the excitement level of the smaller chemical rocket toys without the high cost of fuel. Definitely recommend this!
