And Chad’s take? Chad liked it, and so did I. Chad said you don't have a lot of control over where it flies, but for a little demo there is a way to hold it in place and watch the messages changes. It seemed to crash a lot, but lived to fly again. You can program up to 20 different words, each up to 7 letters, and send them to the Skywriter one at a time. Chad actually clicked back and forth between our names and it looked very cool. Chad said it's IR controlled, so you have to be able to point the remote directly at the Skywriter. For just a bit over $25 this seems like a decent toy. Reviews on Amazon are very mixed, so you can check them out too.
