Review on Guillows Balsa Airplane Jetfire Glider by Kenneth Barnes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Funny but not the best brand in my opinion.

This is a lot of fun. I buy them before the grandkids come to visit and they are great fun in the great outdoors. I always explain to children that they break. If treated with care, they will last longer before breaking, but they will break. However, I bought a different brand last year and they seemed more fragile than the other brand. It looks like they reduced the thickness of the parts. I say that because they don't appear to have changed the thickness of the case cutouts, so the parts fit very loosely. Sometimes just throwing it would cause the wings to slip. The kids still had a lot of fun with it but got frustrated with the constant adjusting or swapping out parts. I think next year I will return to another brand.

Pros
  • Permanent test results
Cons
  • Appearance
