X-Fly by BionicBird - The first sensor-assisted ornithopter drone

Love it very much, actually want to buy another one. The price is very fair for what it does. Anyone who leaves a negative review is unaware of the complexity of engineering such a device. This is a solid device.

I ordered the bionic biird with the XF Bundle kit all for about 140 bucks, first the light from the bundeled kit, the wires just came right off no way to put back on and where the wire connected, the thin plastic locking bar broke. Oh well I can still fly it, so I thought... the first 2 flights seemed to go ok but wouldnt stay flying even going streight it would just land or crash, after a close inspection of the mechanism which makes the wings flap was sticking so the wings didnt flap at a steady speed sometimes the wings wouldnt flap at all and yes the batteries were fully charged. I did try a graphite spray no help. I do not recomend! I would have returned it but when I bought it I had a 6 month long trip I had to go on so here it is way past the return date.

I was really excited about this product, but ended up disappointed. I ordered both the bird and the joystick pack. The joystick pack arrived promptly, but the package with the bird ended up "undeliverable." When I tried to re-order it was back ordered. After weeks of waiting it finally arrived. I couldn't get it to connect to my iPhone 16 pro, and after taking the battery in and out a few times the battery hatch clip broke. So I ended up returning it. I will be interested in buying it again when the bugs are worked out.

Terrible customer service. Just junk.

It's great fun to fly. Very easily maneuverable even in light wind. Strong wind will carry it away as expected. The battery clips broke easily but was able to use a strap from my RC hobby as a fix. Nice bird. Maybe make the shape and scheme more bird like. Very delicate battery tray. This is pointed out in the instructions so read/watch before using it.

This drone only flies via an app on your phone. I have an i phone and bought the bionicbird because it specifically says works with ios app, and even has the apple app store icon printed on the box. However, its been over a month and the ios app still is not available so i can not fly it and it is useless. There are hundreds of other cool drones available, i took a chance on this one and am sorry i did. Dont waste your money like I did.

Too fragile, battery is difficult to put in and out
