Fun 15 minute craft activity for kids, flies quite well.
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.

Very Disapointed Wing panels very flimsy 2 tore after 5-6 flight attempts . Bamboo dowels are not consistent width/depth some are too big some are too small a few are just right . As stated on another review the resulting gliders are not very aerodynamic or adjustable and the front weight fell off every single time . All in all a very big disapointment for my 8 year old who was really looking forward to this . Garrett.

Hard to assemble
Holes in aerofoil sheets were not stamped out very well so a pen knife needed to cut some holes. Adult assembly needed as it is very hard to fit parts onto cane struts.

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!

very good but at time difficult to insert some pieces especially the verticle stabiliser. It was frustrating, but the effort was worth it. You have to do it only once

Huge disappointment! After following instructions to the letter, the plane does not go the distannce. Looks good on paper, surprised it is STEM recommended. Will be returning this item.

Not good. Quality is poor. The parts have to be joined using high force and strength so instead of the kids, its an adult who actually needs to fix all parts. Also after fixing it well, the plane didn't fly and crashed and the wings cracked. Its an expensive buy and still not of use.
