My son had one of these - but he was a little too young to get the hang of tossing it. So I would fly it ... and I couldn't stop.

First, you don't throw it, you just give it a gentle toss after starting the prop. Second, you'll want to tweak the rear elevator and rudder a little bit so that the plane gradually gains altitude while turning in a wide circle. Third, when they say you need to be in a big open field, they're not kidding.

We flew this a lot in the back yard, and it held up really well. The part that finally broke was the prop, after smashing into houses, and pavement, and playground equipment. The wing had a couple of dents in the leading edge - easily fixed with scotch tape. But don't be fooled - the prop is made of ABS plastic, and it's quite durable. It's just that when it gets bent a little bit, you really need to bend it straight again to get it to fly. Don't crash it into hard objects, and it'll last a lot longer.

Still, you'll fly this until it won't fly anymore. And it'll be worth every penny.

I bought this for my best friends son and my husband for christmas. They both enjoyed the air plane. I bought it from amazon for 14.99 so be careful because it can be sold as high as 75.99 by other retailers. It is a great toy!

The plane came in better condition than what we found in the stores. Being that this is my son's second time buying this model, I have to say he greatly enjoys it. The first one was flown so much over a years time, he needed a new one. For a syrofoam plane, it puts up with hitting stuff pretty well.

The air engine works well and being clear plastic allows the user to see how it works - elegantly simple. The plane itself is styrofoam and not too durable. Fun while it lasts.

my 9 year old has one of these and really enjoys it. he and his friends do enjoy this toy, but i will say, it's not the most durable as we have had to repair the styrofoam with tape or glue several times. i like it cause you don't have to worry about batteries, just pump it up and go.

My 5 year old loves this. I have to pump it up, as it takes quite a bit of force. We have had many flights of just under a minute.

Very cheaply made, unable to adjust flying pattern. Bored after 6 tries. Not used since. Waste of money.

I purchased this for my son who is 12 for his birthday. I was disappointed in the quality. It is made mostly of styrofoam. We chipped it just taking it out of the box. It never flew very well and wasn't very enjoyable. It only flew about 10-15 feet before you had to refill the air tank.

Got this for my husband and 4 year old son to enjoy. I knew based on the price that it wasn't going to be top quality, but was shocked that it literally went from box to trash can within 5 minutes. It's first flight was rocky, then the 2nd flight was smoother, but obviously what goes up comes down and when it hit the grass that time, a tiny plastic piece that held the wings on broke. End of fun. My son was crushed. A huge waste of money. Wasn't worth me paying even more $ to return the thing.
