what can ya say?? it goes together, it winds up, it flies, it doesnt crash
for the price... suchadeal

It is fun, durable, less expensive model plane for young child. My 2.5 years old daughter loves watching the plane flying off my hand. It is easy to assemble and make adjustment to correct flying error, since there is no need to glue parts.

These are similar, but not quite as good as the balsa planes of old. Specifically, they are not as good at wing adjustments, as they lack the slight curves in the slots that allow you to give the plane more or less lift. The other change is that the rubber band seems more anemic - our plane simply couldn't lift off from the ground under it's own power - we instead had to throw it. So, it's a cheap thrill, but the long winding with the short result made this toy not as much of a hit as I would have thought.

It really, really needs a stronger rubber band that can pull harder and longer so it can take off. That said, for the price, this is still a classic that brings out the nostalgia in us all. :) I'd recommend trying to splurge for a higher end model in the hope it works better.

Great Item. These planes are just as much fun today with my grandchildren as I remember when I was thier Age.

VERY fragile. Using as a prop in a musical production. Had to buy several to survive dress rehearsal and performance!

It says Display (12) but they only ship you one individual plane. So a great deal on 12 planes is really a terrible price for one.
