This product proved to be a great deal at a cost of 62 cents per plane! All the kids in our neighborhood spend numerous days coloring and flying their planes. It reminded me of my childhood.

The actual plane is a bit smaller than I expected. Also plain balsa, no graphics on it.

No graphics, under 6.5 inches long but it flies and my kids love them (for as long as they last)! Not bad but they need to update the photo.

I bought a box of these for a class of first graders, and
they work very well.

The directions are less than stellar (just implicit printing
on each packet), but they fly well and are easily adjusted.

(No death spirals -- did the previous reviewer put the main
wing in upside-down?)

We held a Girl Scout event and used this plane activity for the girls to put the plane together, decorate it and fly it off the 2nd floor at the Museum and they work! The girls really enjoyed this activity. We had about 80 girls do this and the plane held up well.

Yes its cheap and yes its small ... but it doesn't fly! Despite trying many-many adjustments to wings/etc this plans simply wants to do a spiral death dive into the ground. I wouldn't waste my money on it if you actually have fond memories of balsa gliders that fly!

The planes are just what I expected The kids on the block love them and thats whom i bought them for
