The kids had great fun assembling and flying the planes. It’s great indoor/outdoor fun activities that you can accompany with education.

super cheap fun, they’re delicate of course easy to crack but it’s a inexpensive toy made of balsa wood - have to have the right expectations for it

How fun and cool these two ‘old school’ balso wood and rubber band powered toy airplane. I am so old that I can remember when these planes were crazy popular. I still would recommend a small drone over this type of flying fun; but if you want something that is guaranteed fun for you and kids (although you do have to be careful when snapping thin wooden wings and a couple of other things). But the super simple design and the ability to twist the plastic propeller (attached to the rubber band being secured by a small metal staple); makes for some real joy that all handmade and produced paper/wood airplane toys bring when they fly (even if it’s a short distance).

Easy to put together. Looks cool. If you have a padded room, preferably one with an anti gravity device so you could lower gravity, this would be perfect. Unfortunately, I have a normal house, full of floors, walls and gravity, none of which are conducive to maintaining the structural integrity of the planes. My son got sick of me screaming "Today IS a good day to die" Everytime I made them fly. We had fun.

I purchased these for a family party in hopes of sharing retro toys with the new generation of kids. The planes don't hold up well (I know the 60s originals didn't either), but at $4 each we are afraid to play with them! They got left on the shelf! What a bummer! Wish they were available in a bulk pack at a more reasonable price per plane, then we could have bought enough to enjoy.

If you are lucky. By the end of the first day both of the planes had disintegrated! I remember having these planes as a kid and I swear they lasted more than a couple of hours. Before they fell apart, they flew well. Then the tails fell off. Oh well, for $7 I wasn't expecting too much.

I haven't flown this outdoors yet but I can tell this plane has a lot of potential. (I HAVE flown it indoors and it flies well.) To clear this up, there are are two of these. Obvious, if you read the name of the product, but I saw some people asking.The plane measures a tiny bit over 11" in length and 11 3/4" for the wingspan. (FULLY ASSEMBLED)There are no wheels, but, heck, who needs them?I saw some people saying how these things arrived with the wings warped. I'll say, that did make me rethink buying this. But - maybe it'sjust my luck - they arrived flat, smooth, and undamaged. The wings have a bit of a dihedral angle, (kind of like a opened up "v"), increasing stability. Please don't go complaining that the wings are bent.Next, they are NOT hard to assemble! Yes, the slots for the tail fin and cockpit are small, but being the smart person I am, I quickly figured out a trick.Don't use all your energy and try to stuff the stuff in - no, that'll break it. But if you take your fingernail and widen the slot in the fuselage just a bit, the tail fin and cockpit will go in easily. Seriously, it's easy.You can't expect them to fly perfectly straight. Like most propeller-propelled airplanes, the blades spin clockwise - if you look at it from the back. Because the prop spins right, it forces the plane to turn left. In flight, the plane will turn a bit. Sometimes - mostly in a windy day - the left bank will make the airplane turn so much that it loses lift and falls. I hope that clears everything up. People, just don't chuck it, see it fall, and blame it on the company or their product.If you're asking how I know all this when I said that I didn't fly it outdoors, it's because I have bought these sorts of models before. I make my own, too!Good luck!(EDIT)Now I have flown this thing outside. It ended up on my neighbor's roof in 5 seconds. Comes to show how fast this thing is and how far it can fly.It did NOT break; in fact, it came back in one piece.

Horrible design and quality. I ordered two boxes (2 in each box) for our 5 yr old and 6 yr old after they watched the movie planes and loved it. They were so excited when this arrived, they wanted to assemble it themselves, but they are so delicate that it's meant to be assembled only by adults. We used them for 2 days and they were done, all broken and wouldn't fly anymore. Instead I bought foam planes from the party store for $0.59ea. Far superior quality and work great.
