FlyTech FairyFly SlowFlake

January 5th, 2009

My niece received the FlyTech FairyFly SlowFlake by WowWee and she loves it. Here is what is included in the package:

  • The Fairy Flier
  • The Remote Control
  • The Stand (the FairyFly controller forms half of the stand)
  • The Instruction Book

There are no batteries included. Each remote control needs 4 “AA” batteries. Also, there are no replacement wings included.

At first glance, I thought the Fairy was cute! Her foam body is flesh toned and she wears a light purple dress. She has a slight smile, pointed ears, large eyes, and a pixie haircut. The wings are decorated with swirls of white and blue, and have snowflake graphics on the background.

I thought the fairy flew quite well.  You must remember, they are made to fly in a simple manner. They need to controlled well, which is why this toy is for children 6 and up.  They are unable to recover their hover when they bump into a wall.

They use InfraRed control technology, which doesn’t work well in bright sunlight. They also are very light, and easily pushed around by the slightest breeze or draft.  This toy is best used ina large room indoors.
