## Description

Construct awesome flying gliders with ultralight plastic and bamboo parts. Build five different types of planes with different wing configurations to learn how wings provide lift and how planes stay up in the air.

Review: Great product very innovative and educational a must
Review: I personally really loved this. The models do fly, but they require patience to adjust the pieces properly. The material does at first look like it will fall apart, but in fact it doesn't!! It's deliberately very lightweight to facilitate the flying. The design is actually pretty ingenious and holds together way, way better than I expected. The models are still delicate, but incredibly, NOTHING broke in testing and in total only two or three pieces fell off. These are far from the balsa planes of my youth, better designed, and much sturdier. For a relative novice like myself, this set is perfect!

Fun 15 minute craft activity for kids, flies quite well. 9&11 year old could built it without help. I would have given it five stars, but feel bad about all the single use plastic.
