CraftyProducts Balsa Wood Glider Kit 304 Shark Sailplane Catapult Plane Partybag Toy Model

We bought this for a young family member and he loves it! It came really fast and the sellers communication was great.

Plane assembled nicely, quite small but very fiddly to add nose weight, did not fly very well

I bought it to introduce my Grandson to aeromodelling. It looked great on the advert and it was well packed. The wood had been due cut but was of poor quality and had several splits and rough edges which broke when sanded. The instructions were straightforward and the jig was handy to set up the correct dihedral angle for the wings. I built it carefully following the instructions but my Grandson dropped it from the work bench onto the carpet. The rear fuselage broke just in front of the tail assembly. It fell 80 cm at most so I couldn't see how it would survive long being test flown. I could have understood if the rudder or tailplane had come off but not for the fuselage to break. I carefully glued it back together and attempted to balance it with the weights supplied. After three gentle throws in a long hall with a carpet and adding more weight each time, I thought I had got it balanced correctly. On the fourth attempt it flew for about 2 metres then crashed onto one wing which broke off and split. It is not repairable. I bought £10 worth of balsa wood and have made four aircraft since that have all flown without breaking and I have enough left to build at least two more.Great advertising and packaging for a disappointing product, well and truly conned me.

This broke on opening and we strengthened it as it was for a school glider competition but on first flight it smashed to pieces resulting in a sad boy! Not worth the money!

Fantastic product and super fast delivery. Thank you!

Waste of money. Some of the pieces came broken.

This should be no more than a £3-4. A very small amount of balsa and a little bag of rusty iron shot for ballast.
