RE: My son said it is not cool!
My son took his birthday money and bought one of these on his own - he thought it was cool, and so did I.
Only thing, they don't fly very well. When you rotate the halves, it will climb vertically without hesitation (likes trees but not wind) from the little tee that comes with it. When you hit the transform button on the radio, it doesn't fly very well.
As suggestion for the future, provided you want to get your kids involved with your hobby - buy a Blade MSR and Dx6i radio - now you've got something to talk about - and it'll be cool for a long time to come.
