Rubber-Band Windup Glider
Wind, release, zoom across the yard.
A classic starter motorized plane. You wind a rubber band by spinning the propeller backwards, then let go — the propeller whirs and the plane takes off for a short, exciting flight.

No batteries. No chargers. Just wind it and watch it go. It's the perfect first step into motorized flight.
For parents
Flight path is unpredictable. Fly in an open yard, park, or field. Works best with no wind.
