Questions & Answers

Do you know how many airplanes this set includes?

There are twelve Having the grandkids there was fun for them. Well, even adults enjoyed them. Well, for a price like that, it's a good deal.

Does it last for a long time ?

It's not like they "break" per se It is normal for the wings on the planes to need setting after each flight (for this material), but the wings also become progressively looser the more you fly them. Their usual pattern is to do a short loop and turn back Whatever the position of the wings, it will be straight down. Within 5 minutes, my 9yr old was done playing with them, and he actually played with them for about 20 minutes. I turned my back on the past.

Do you think this is suitable for a child under three?

They are so cute and I use them for good behavior rewards with my 3 year old. They are small, but they are beloved by our child.

How well do they work for a man in his 80s?

It is not obvious what you mean, but they are made from foam, with wings attached to slats at the body of the plane. Because they are very light, I used them as party decorations hanging from a rope. Here is what I could come up with.

Getting into the air is very easy and fun
5/5

Getting these for my grandsons, age 5 and 7, was a great idea. The propeller pieces would not need any assistance to be separated, but they could put them together on their own. In all, we were able to assemble all 12 and 10 lasted for the entire weekend that I was with them at least. (I expected the games to last just 15 minutes!) So, free fun and games!.

That's a great deal of entertainment for a little money! Those cheap, foam bags won't last forever and are made of foam
5/5

They were too short to even last a full day, but the kids still These were purchased to throw a few in the packages I was giving to my cousin's children, who all have airplane-themed stuff for Christmas. The kids played with the fancy electronics and action figures in the yard for about an hour after they opened them. It made for a few hours of fun for everyone as the adults gathered the rest of the toys and threw them all around the house. It costs under six bucks to get it all. This is worth your time. A random assortment was given to me, I ended up with 4 of the same color and only 1 of another, the rest were 2 of the same color There are three of each type. Assembling them was easy, we had a little trouble with the propeller at first, but once we got it on, the rest was a breeze.

The results weren't that good
3/5

How about the balsa airplanes we used to get for a quarter at the store? It was pretty easy to put them together and they flew relatively well. Then these aren't what you're looking for either. Putting them together without breaking them was too difficult for my 8-year-old granddaughter. Having a hard time myself wasn't easy either. Gliding is not an option for them. time, the spirals travel to the left or the right before they In the end, we made half the pack and threw the other half Because there were a lot of different kinds of airplanes available, I gave them two stars.

The time for a reality check has come
4/5

I'd like everyone to take a step back and get Shipped to each nation, these planes will cost you 20 to 30 million dollars You can get them for 25 cents apiece. In the end, what you pay for is what you get. You might want to consider this hobby if you want to have a good time For example, if you want your kids to have a type plane, you will have to shell out $4,500. The price is seven dollars per person. I purchase these for my Cub Scout Den, and I am pleased with them. As we worked on flying, aerodynamics, and the four forces involved in flight (thrust/drag, lift/gravity), we learned what a wing does. I gave the Scouts the airplanes after the lesson, had them assemble them, then held a contest to see who was able to fly the farthest. They loved the activity, learned something, and it cost me less than $8 total. A total of 24 planes were purchased (I bought 24 in total). Regardless of what you think about these 25 cent planes, nothing will please you if you want to be critical of it.

I had a great time
5/5

Depending on how you assemble them, they can break if you aren't paying attention to what you are In spite of this, they arrived in perfect condition and are just like the ones from our Playing with these during our family airshow party was a hit with the next generation of kids. Seeing how far they can fly will be a lot of fun for the big kids!.

They used to make those in the 1980s and I miss them
4/5

When I was a kid in the 1980s, I used to play with the same thing, but it is not the same as the one I played with now. As opposed to the ones I played with in the past, these can't fly. In spite of the price, I was still able to enjoy my kids for a few hours. It's easy to blend when assembling, so you have to be gentle. I still enjoy the memories of my childhood associated with it.

Those are some cool gliders, I like them! These were a gift that I was given for a summer camp I taught where we learned about air movement
4/5

Anyone older than 9 could put them together without an adult. For them, it was great way to put their new knowledge to work. It was important to me that each student have something affordable, and this fit the bill. My expectation was not that such a plane would be of top quality due to its foam construction. Although I would have liked a bit more sturdy foam, since some of the kids bent their wings as they tried to insert them and this put their ability to fly into question. My experience was that the kids aged 9 and 10 were able to assemble this very easily, while the kids under 9 needed adult assistance. You could treat your guests to these for a party favor!.

They're a big hit with the grandkids! This is a super deal
5/5

The flight went flawlessly. I got these for my two grandkids ages 4 & 5 They waited until they were nine just so Grandma would be able to send them a package. This is an amazing deal! It will be easy for them to keep them for a long time because there are so many of them. Consequently, they pull them out of the closet every now and then to I think they do a great job. Quite good for tricks and you can adjust the flaps to make them fly in any direction. The perfect party favors to give to your guests. I will hand it down to my grandchildren just because it's perfect for them. This is a highly recommended book. This is a great value!.
