Review on Guillows Balsa Wood Flying Machine by Ines Jones

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This is the one you want!

We have tried several other rubber band balsa airplanes and have been disappointed. They were so poorly constructed and so weak that they could not take off on their own and/or were instantly shattered to pieces - unlike the ones we remembered from our youth. But that's all I remember - it's gotten a little thicker and stronger - drops won't bother it. And he has TWO rubber bands that he uses simultaneously for extra power - he can lift himself completely off the ground, or he can fly over a neighbor's roof. In addition, well thought-out adjustment tips are printed on the underside of the wings. After almost giving up on other rubber band planes, I just ordered a second one. :)

Pros
  • Toys and Games
Cons
  • Not the best
