Colorwings Paper Gliders

When I was a little kid, every time my grandfather would come to visit me he would buy me a balsa wood airplane. I loved everything about them, from putting them together to getting to watch them fly, and eventually breaking them to pieces through a series of intense crash landings. As fond as my memories of those planes are, I can tell you none of them looked as good as these colorwings. These beauties are 20″ long and have a 6.5″ wingspan and under perfect conditions can fly as far as 300 yards. According to A+R “These planes are much, much more fun than anything we experienced growing up!”. We’ll see about that.

Available from A+R for $12.

    These look pretty cool. Speaking of broken toy gliders, does anyone remember those big foam ones that would break on any hard landing? I broke a few of those on their first flight :)
