*by A***R on 6 January 2017*

Very Disapointed Wing panels very flimsy 2 tore after 5-6 flight attempts . Bamboo dowels are not consistent width/depth some are too big some are too small a few are just right . As stated on another review the resulting gliders are not very aerodynamic or adjustable and the front weight fell off every single time . All in all a very big disapointment for my 8 year old who was really looking forward to this . Garrett.
