Freds Flyers Balsa Airplane Gliders Review

One of the packages was broken and the wing on the trunk was torn. The pair's rear wing didn't stay in place, hampering its usefulness. In terms of strength and durability, they are Ds.

We didn't manage to make these planes fly at least normally. They are brittle and very thin balsa wood breaks easily. Foam planes, which actually have aerodynamic wings, fly much better and are much more durable.

We used this product for the annual Christmas morning glider race. It started when our sons were 5 and 7 years old. In November 2019, one month before his 51st birthday, our eldest son died unexpectedly of a massive heart attack. We remain in his memory.

waste of money. I had these wings as a kid and they flew very well. But these don't fly at all. They just immediately raise their nose and make a falling leaf like the nose isn't heavy enough. Tried them all and they all behaved the same.

We have a lot of fun playing with our grandson in these little easy to assemble airplanes (adult help). They don't glide very far but are strong enough if not smashed (our 4 year old grandson is pretty good at flying them). Good old deal.

I was so excited when I found this wooden glider but when I got the real product all the goodness was gone. I don't know what kind of wood it is, but it's very thin and breaks easily. All my planes fall apart after a few minutes of gameplay. It flies well but my kids only had a few minutes of playtime.

I ordered for my grandchildren hoping they will be similar to what I had as a kid. They're a lot less strong and less thick (balsamwood?) than I remembered, but even if they're more fragile, they still perform and fly as intended. We just received them so I'll have to wait and see how well they hold up with use and play. They were well packaged to avoid damage in transit. They were received on time as requested. Maybe I can give them a higher rating after some time of usage.
