Review: About same quality as 29 cent item in 1970. - This is almost like 50 years ago before kids had screens and before toys were totally indestructible (don't be too rough.) This is almost a foot long; much bigger than some of the other one being sold, and the wings have dihedral (not a flat piece) so it is more stable. I broke off a piece of wing because left it on a car seat, and it still flew ok. The aft fuselage split when pushing horizontal tail in, but held up. The vertical was soon lost on grass so used canopy as tail, until we lost that, and it still flew ok.
Review: Not worth the price - Arrived and the main wing had a crack the length of the wing.

### ⭐ Not worth the price
*by A***R on August 23, 2025*

Arrived and the main wing had a crack the length of the wing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Kids still love this vintage toy
*by R***Z on November 1, 2023*

I admit, I was a little concerned. Kids today know so much more than I did as a kid. They know everything about computers and play all the computer games. They do amaze me but I wanted to know if my great grandson would find the wonder I did, in my youth, with a simple toy. A toy with no motor, no electronics, and nothing but his own imagination. He absolutely loved this balsa plane. He played outside, yelling about how high he could get it to go. He climbed on higher surfaces to get it higher. He ran, played, and laughed for a very long time. He then had me set it up high on a bookshelf so it wouldn't get broken. It was a wonderful experience.
