Can it jump or fly?
No. Like the drone in the game it is a ground vehicle: it drives forward and back and spins on the spot. It doesn't jump or fly. The stick at the back is a stabiliser that keeps it steady while it drives.

Does the camera work?
No. The lens is a design detail that completes the look. There is no camera inside, so nothing records and nothing is sent anywhere. There is nothing to register either: it's a ground RC toy, not a flying drone.
Is it hard to drive?
It's quick, so give yourself a few minutes on an open floor. Start with forward and reverse, then try the spins once you have the feel of it.
How do I pair the remote?
Switch the drone on first, then the remote, and keep them close together. They connect by themselves within a few seconds. The same steps are printed in the quick-start notes in the box.
How long does the battery last, and how do I charge it?
Roughly 30 to 40 minutes per charge, depending on the surface and how hard you drive it. It recharges over the included USB cable. Exact figures for your batch are printed in the quick-start notes.
What surfaces can it drive on?
Wood, tile, concrete and short carpet all work well. Keep it off deep carpet, gravel and anything wet. It is not water resistant.
How long does delivery take?
Orders placed before 4pm Irish time on a working day are posted from Ireland that day, and later orders go out the next working day. Delivery then takes 3 to 5 working days to the US, 3 to 7 to Ireland, the UK and the EU countries we ship to, and 5 to 7 to Canada. Delivery is free and tracked, and the tracking link comes by email.
What is the return policy?
You can return an unused drone in its original condition within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. You cover return postage unless the item arrived faulty or wrong.
What is covered by the warranty?
Manufacturing defects in normal use, for a full year from delivery. It does not cover drops, water damage, misuse, unauthorised repairs or normal wear.
What's in the box?
The drone, the remote control, a USB charging cable, printed quick-start and care notes, and your warranty information.
What will the charge look like on my bank statement?
It shows as RECON DRONE LABS. Payment is handled by Stripe, so we never see your card details, and you can pay by card, Apple Pay, Klarna, Revolut Pay and more.
