Some come as noted with propeller and rubber band powered. Great fun for flying around the yard or in the park. Has printed wings, tail surfaces and canopy. Individually packaged in a poly bag. Skill level 1. Wing span measures from 9 to 16 inches.

Doesn't fly at all. After several falls to the ground in the park, the wing of the plane broke. Waste of money.

I use to buy this type of toy when I was very young. This airplane actually flies very well & lands if you adjust the wing right, which is all the way forward in the slot. Also when you wind the rubber band make sure you put some tension on it. Almost double wind it, you will know when you use it. Then throw it almost straight up, you will be pleasantly surprised, especially the young kids. I bought one for my small Grandchildren they loved it.

I am 75 years old and have many fond memories of spending $0.25 at the Ben Franklin on a Saturday afternoon to spend hours flying a rubber band powered, balsa wood glider. I grew up on a cul-de-sac and there was plenty of room to fly it. That's rule 1. It is made from a very fragile, light wood that floats easily. When you put it together, BE GENTILE. It's fragility is what makes it fly. After a few Saturdays spent pissed off because I broke the wing while sliding it through the fuselage, I learned NOT to break it. That's rule 2. DON'T GLUE IT TOGETHER. It may crash and the tail section may fall off and you have to put it back on. If you glue it together, when it crashes it will break Refer to rule 2. It came with two (2) rubber bands and I found that I could wind it tighter and it would fly further, but after about three hours of playing with it, the rubber bands would break. Game over. I would tie a knot in the end of the rubber band and shoot flies with it. I have this one special memory of the perfect flight with an AJ Hornet and if that rubber band powered, propeller driven, balsa wood glider can impact my life with life lesions like "be gentle", "cause and effect", and simple aerodynamics, it was well worth the time spent. I will use this glider to play with my 5 year old granddaughter. I put it together straight out of the package without mishap, drove to a large empty parking lot and wound it tight. While holding the propeller, I threw the plane into the wind releasing the propeller at the same time. It flew straight up until the rubber bands had expended its kinetic energy and the plane leveled off flying in two large circles and making a perfect three point landing. LIFE IS GOOD. Aurora will love it and it has been tested. They even have spare parts like rubber bands and propellers.
