Rhode Island Novelty Foam 8 Inch Flying Glider Planes 48 Piece Assortment

I recently purchased these gliders to use as a reward for potty training my kid, using the bathroom like a big kid equals one plane. I'm hoping by the time we get through the entire pack of gliders we can say goodbye to diapers. These gliders are exactly like the ones I used to play with as a kid it's great to see they still make them. I received all the gliders with the correct amount of variation in designs that was advertised in the description. The gliders are well made and the design on the gliders are bright and detailed. The amount of gliders you get for the price is amazing, would be great for birthday party gift bags. The product is as advertised and I would buy from this seller again.

Our airport aviation organization flys kids in real planes and wanted something to give them when they finished. These planes were perfect. Understand you need to be careful in assembly as the foam is thin. If you support the foam on the back side while inserting the wings and tail you can assemble without bending the foam. The propeller is sometimes a little tricky to get the small pin in the propeller mount but they all went together. Support the nose of the airplane near the propeller mount before pushing it on to avoid bending the fuselage. The planes actually flew pretty well. We had about kids throwing them all over the lobby while we waited for the rain to stop so we could fly them. I bought a second set for the next flying event. Highly recommended.

I purchased these for my 6 year old to have as a small reward and as something that we could do/learn about together. We opened our first one, which was the Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk, and brought up some online videos of the real plane and it's connection with "The Flying Tigers". So, they can be fun and a little educational too. The box that I received contained 48 planes: Curtiss P-40 Tomahawk Focke Wulf 190 A-4 Mitsubishi Zero Type 4 Fighter Hayate Grumman F6F Hellcat Hawker Hurricane MK. 11C North American Mustang MK2 Thunderbolt F-47D Airacobra P-39 Eockewulf TA 152H Piper Tri-Pacer Spitfire MKI The planes came evenly distributed with 4 of each kind. Each plane is individually wrapped and they look just like the ones that I use to get from the grocery store as a kid. The only difference that I can see is that these planes have a shiny glazed styrofoam covering and mine, as kid, were just white with inked markings. The planes are easy to assemble and while the markings and look of the models are not exactly authentic, there is enough there that helps to distinguish each one. The planes stay together well and do not blow apart in the air. The wing and tail wing stayed in place, but might need to be straightened up from time to time upon collisions with objects and the ground. Each plane comes with a plastic nose piece where you can insert the prop. The prop really does spin and will do so when flying. It doesn't really seem to help with any extended flight time however, but the nose piece is necessary for the model to achieve flight. I tried flying it without the nose piece and it just become erratic and crashes quickly. As far as actually flying, I tested it indoors and outdoors with various results. Outside, the plane wanted to go straight up in the air, perform a loop and level off for a glided landing. Inside, the plane tended to flying straighter. I also started to make small adjustments to the nose piece and this altered how it flew. Throwing the plane from over your shoulder and swinging out from the side of your body produced various results as well. As I was messing around with these, I was thinking that it might be a creative and fun exercise to give them to older teenagers in the classroom to see how they could alter the planes to achieve the longest flight time. Could be a good problem solving and collaboration exercise with each group trying to modify/alter their plane for the best results. The planes are relatively inexpensive but offer a variety of uses from decorations, party favors, rewards, or classroom challenges. They are easily assembled, stay together reasonably well, and will fly with various results upon experimentation. They offer opportunities to learn about aviation history with little ones as well. My 6 year old has trouble throwing his in a way that would allow it to take flight, but he still enjoys holding it in his hands and running around with it. They certainly bring back memories. Now...those little parachute guys.....

When I was young I used to buy these at the corner store all the time. My friend and I would spend hours playing with them (and modifying them). I started sponsoring a child in Africa and was looking for some small trinket that would be easy to send through the mail. Preferably something that if lost or damaged what no big deal. When I came across these on Amazon, The memories of playing with them came flooding back. So with each letter I send to Africa I include one of these planes. My sponsor child and his friends love playing with them. So does my 16y/o son and my 3y/o grand daughter. Pros: cheap and fun. (with a bonus of nostalgia for those of us that played with them as a child) Cons: the do bend and break, but what do you expect from a foam plane.

For the number of planes that come with this and at such a low price this is a good deal. They are not a very good quality, nor will they last long, but you should know this because it is typical for all foam toys similar to these. We used this as a party favor for my sons 4th birthday and it was a hit. They are lots of fun and since you get soooo many there is no caring about breaking them; just grab another and get back to playing.

Got these for my son and his friends they played outside with these for hours the could not believe how well they worked and glided through the air. perfect size for kids great value so easy to assemble and durable

My Grandson got a couple of these in his Easter Basket. He broke one accidently. So together we went online to find the exact thing he had. We found this bonus size box. He was so very happy to get so many planes. When he tears one up, he saves the extra parts and can change them out on other planes or use the parts to build a plane. Great gift for a 9 year old who loves paper airplanes. (The three year old loves them too!)

Creo que la presentación puede mejorar, pero sin duda alguna estoy más que satisfecho con el producto, ya que es de buena calidad, entrega súper rápida y precio ideal, gracias, mi hijo está más que feliz

Made out of foam and great for a bunch of young kids on a nice day in the backyard

Son aviones a mi gusto un poco chico pero vuelan bonito, las hélices son de un plástico un poco de baja calidad porque se rompen fácil a la hora de que cae al piso o choca el avión con algo por ello baje 1 estrella

Would recommend. Didn’t come in a box lol just came as the picture I showed. They only came with 2 kinds of planes green and the orange. But they were a hit in surprise bags

Los aviones llegaron bien, el empaque era una bolsa dentro de una caja, lo cual evitó que los aviones se rompieran o lastimaran en el trayecto. A mí si me llegaron las 48 piezas, creo que es una buena relación valor precio, si sabes lo que estas comprando, son aviones desechables.
