Great product very innovative and educational a must

I personally really loved this. The models do fly, but they require patience to adjust the pieces properly. The material does at first look like it will fall apart, but in fact it doesn't!! It's deliberately very lightweight to facilitate the flying. The design is actually pretty ingenious and holds together way, way better than I expected. The models are still delicate, but incredibly, NOTHING broke in testing and in total only two or three pieces fell off. These are far from the balsa planes of my youth, better designed, and much sturdier. For a relative novice like myself, this set is perfect!

Fun 15 minute craft activity for kids, flies quite well. 9&11 year old could built it without help. I would have given it five stars, but feel bad about all the single use plastic.

very good but at time difficult to insert some pieces especially the verticle stabiliser. It was frustrating, but the effort was worth it. You have to do it only once

Huge disappointment! After following instructions to the letter, the plane does not go the distannce. Looks good on paper, surprised it is STEM recommended. Will be returning this item.
