TLDR:
What is this?
This is the Hanvon GoGoBird Eagle. It’s a radio controlled ornithopter, which means it has wings that flap like a bird to propel itself through the air. It comes as a ReadyToFly package, with minimal assembly required.

How much does it cost?
MSRP is $200 and should be available for purchase around September 2021.

Is it worth the price?
If you want an ornithopter, yes. This appears to be the most affordable and userfriendly ornithopter for its size and price.

Is it any good?
Yes. It is well designed, made with high quality materials, durable, and very fun.

Is it easy to fly?
Yes. It uses a barometer to maintain a fairly consistent altitude, and is gyrostabilized so it is hard (but not impossible) to crash. Launching is the hardest part.

What’s bad about it?
The “return to home” and “circling” features do not work very well. Flight movements are not very precise, mostly due to the nature of flapping wings. The remote controller feels cheap and is not very precise.

Why buy this?
Mostly for fun, especially if you are interested in ornithopters. This may also be a great introduction to RC aircraft since it is easy to fly, durable, and there is no propeller to cut your fingers off.

IMPORTANT NOTE: What you are about to see is a preproduction model. The finished production version may be different (hopefully better) than the version you see in this video.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Hanvon provided me with this prototype free of charge to review, but has not directed my speech or reviewed this video before it was published.
