The WW2 gliders need to be balanced to the center of gravity with 1-2 jumbo paper clips, they don't glide as well as the "Large" ones but would make good 2nd and 3rd place prises for middle school kids. Maybe use regular paper clips for balancing the plane. It has potential but it takes and experienced RC flyer to fix this.

A great Christmas handout from Santa and Mrs. Claus
Mrs. Claus and I love handing out these gliders to the boys and even some of the girls who come to see us. They are always a big hit, especially since they are all different colors. We had some boys toss them as soon as they put them together.

Good for the price...
These are what they advertise: simple to assemble gliders that are WWII themed. They do not fly very well and the plastic propellers do not fit very well in the plastic nose clips.
They do offer a nice surprise in a birthday gift bag as they are individually wrapped, have various styles, and you get a lot of them.

These WWII gliders are a good novelty gift
Some arrived slightly crumpled but most were in good shape. For best results we glued the nose and propeller to the body of the plane. The colors, patterns, and price are good. Every age loves a toy airplane.

Perfect for my grandson's birthday party,
My 10 year old grandson is all about WWI and WWII planes. It was the theme for his birthday party. These gliders were just perfect for the decorations and as take-home gifts for his friends. He could tell me what each plane was. I have never seen gliders with such detail. I was pleased with the entire process and it made the party!

Delicate and Fragile
It's okay, but delicate and fragile since it's made of foam material. My son (age 7) tried to put it together himself and ended up tearing it and bending it.

disappointed
Easy to assemble, but the propeller fell within 5 minutes and couldn't be fixed. My grandson did have fun flying the plane around.

Very Popular Prize!
I puchased these for my classroom trasure box. They are very popular with my students, especially the boys! They are not sturdy and can be challenging to assemble, but the kids seem to enjoy them.

great class handout
My son handed these out at school for his birthday. It was a great "no sugar" option. The teacher let the kids take them outside for recess and the kids had a great time. These planes have a propeller that really turns and they fly well. Only downside is that kids need to be careful as they open them so the little propeller & peg do not get lost.
