Nice
I had in mind that these would be good for a distance challenge, but they all did loops. The children loved them! We just had fun flying them. Other reviewers complained about flimsiness, but we helped the chilldren out to be sure they would be ok, and they were GREAT!

Great quality for the price!
My 4 year old could assemble herself, and she has played with one of them for days now.
True, they are foam and very lightweight, but for the price they are an EXCELLENT value and served the right purpose for not breaking the bank on party favors. I recommend!

Good product for the money
These foam planes were a hit. We did have to help the children assemble so they would not tear while putting them together but once they were assembled, the children were happy. Great idea as a give away for children, boys and girls alike. I was not happy though with the way the box arrived, all torn and broken. Glad there was nothing breakable in the box.

Not Worth It
Do not order! Extremely cheap and flimsy. Not worth the money at all. We wasted $15 because these planes will not last one day at VBS.

ok purchase
I am really "tight" when it comes to buying things for class parties since there are 3 per year and I have 2 kids. I splurged on this item because I thought if I spent a little more, they would have better quality. The less expensive ones fly just as well and entertain the kids just as much. My kids actually still have some of the plastic ones they got years ago. I only opened one to test it out, we had to tape it after a few minutes and it didn't make it to day two. I would recommend the cheaper ones for anyone in my situation.

These are great for kids!
My children loved these little planes. Yes, they may be a little flimsy, but you get so many for the price. My kids did have a little trouble because some pieces did not fit just right, but a little tape and these are great. They fly well, which is what we wanted.

Very Fun
It always makes me laugh when people review that things are flimsy or cheaply made... that's why you get 48 of them for $12!
I bought these for my son's 5th B-day as a party favor. After watching my husband assemble one plane, my son was able to do it himself. They fly well and have cute "replica" designs and the over-wrap indicates the name of the WWII plane. Some of the planes have propellers and you can hear them spin while they fly. Yes, they are not durable... but when one breaks, we have 47 more!

Great Value!
I give the kids in our Outreach program (we sing for seniors monthly) a gift to thank them for their participation each month during the school year because they aren't allowed to keep any of the crafts they make for the seniors.
While these planes can be difficult for kids under 8 to assemble and they break easily, the hassle is worth it because the kids LOVE them. Buy extras to cover defects; some wings don't fit tightly; I used the pushout from the body to make a tighter fit on the defective ones. Don't push the nose-pin in too hard or the propeller won't rotate.
Tip on flying them: Don't give a big push; just sort of gently move it forward and release for the longest flight. Hard push = loop-de-loop into nose crash.
