Good for kids, Fantastic for micro rc builders
Well made and durable, it takes a fair bit of effort to craft something this small, this light, that flies this well.Most of the models flew perfect out of the box, slight differences on the fit of the wing to the fuselage made one a bit loose and it didn't fly well till i secured the wing with a small drop of CA, no biggie.Tips to make them fly well1. Gently push the wings upwards from the bottom and give them a small bit of angle up while making sure one wing doesn't get more twisted than the other, this is called dihedral, it makes the flight more stable.2. Looking at the plane from the back, make sure the elevator and rudder aren't twisted relative to the wing, very gently twisting the rear fusilage will correct this, be careful the wings are the same height or it can look off when it isn't.3. If the plane is turning one direction then very slightly twist just the upper tip of the rudder to correct flightpath, only small movements are needed4. Lifting the trailing edge of the wing up a bit can affect the roll very dramatically for very little movement, if your model rolls instantly it's usually a bit of twist in the wing doing it.The only issue the kids have is the adults stealing their planes to toss around, these are a hoot!If you're into nano RC planes this is a real contender with a small DT receiver and a bit of magnet wire and a small motor a 7 gram rc plane is easily possible. I think a 4.5-5gram flying model is possible (if you can build a single phase brushless motor and solder it to an IC and get 2-3grams of thrust). Wanna build a micro 10-15mm edf, this would be a fun chassis to fit it in the airframe. To airframe at the back of the wing can fit a .75in tube if stretched and the end could fit a .625 or a bit more stretched so good reduction space for efflux, probably needs 3g of thrust perhaps a bit less depending on CG/weight.Weight of a single plane is 9.2grams give or take a tenth with counterweight, 6 grams without weight, easily lightened to 4g without touching the wings, elevator or rudder, if you skeletonize the wing/ elevator and rudder and cover in OS film you'd get down to right around a 2gram empty airframe, a gram and a half is the lightest I can see these possibly getting and that would take some serious micro building skillsThe planes have the center of gravity towards the leading edge and they fly fairly fast because of it. I've experimented with lighter weights and moving the CG almost to midline of the wing with good results and good slow flight characteristics. You can halve the counterweight and move the CG to 40% chord and still fly very nicely, large flyable CG range of 15-40%.

Nice quality
These are small so little hands can handle them really well. Great quality and hold up really well when they crash. They fly much better than ones we have had in the past. I gave 4 stars instead of 5 as they are quite expensive. If you are comfortable with the price, these are a sure bet!

Great for young kids
These flexible foam airplanes are easy to reshape when they crash or go off course. You can twist wings and rudders slightly to adjust the flight. I had one tail piece in my set that was tweaked but the rest of the pack was great. I would totally buy again. Our kids use them all the time.I wanted the kids to be able to launch them and all the launch ready planes weren’t this good. I took a pack of 10lb metal picture hangers, cut one end off, then inserted it into the plane, removed it, added gorilla glue, and put it back in. Now we launch them with a rubber band looped around a short shop stick or those rubber band rocket launchers. Don’t pull back too hard and they fly much better. A medium pull results in a perfect loop.

Fantastic fun for the whole family!
My 4 yr old and husband love these! There hasn't been a day since we received them, that we haven't played with these gliders. They are sturdy and fly well, yet are soft enough that they can be used in the house and don't hurt if they hit you. We love to take them to the big hill at our local park to have glider races! Everyone that has tried them (kids and adults alike) have a great time throwing them around. The bright colors make them easy to spot when they land. Totally worth the money!

Super durable and fly great
These things are awesome. Super durable and they fly great. We use them indoors and out. These are not the glorified styrofoam that most toy planes you find are. These are super durable, soft, flexible foam, that you can crash and step on, and throw in a toybox to get crushed under a ton of other toys, and they'll come out unscathed and ready to fly. Kids love them, and have spent hours upon hours playing with them, and I see them lasting for many years.

Simple, fun, durable, an inexpensive good time!
My 7 year old and I have been very happily tossing these around for weeks in our apartment, in the park, off the roof, etc and they really rock. He put them together and they have stayed intact since and we haven’t had to tweak them in any way for flight efficiency or performance. As a matter of fact, we just ordered four more sets so we can have dedicated indoor, outdoor and “sacrificial” groups. The only criticism we have is that the images on Amazon show one un-colored plane (white) in the set that is presumably for painting. Ours did not have such an uncolored plane. Buy em, you’ll love em. To those who complained they don’t fly well - try a few different grips. We discovered holding them behind the wings rather than under the wings works best for some of them.

FLY GREAT AND GO FAR!
These small Gliders are SOFT and DURABLE. I’m 35 and had TONS OF FUN! They FLY GREAT AND GO FAR! Easy to perform loops and stunts by bending the wings and tails. Works indoors. They are soft enough to crash into your tv with no damage. I crashed them into the desk lamp with no problems. Not great in Windy Conditions but otherwise they FLY WELL!The larger foam gliders GLIDE with less effort, but these are great too. Get a bunch and play catch with friends. Awesome colors also.
