Thames and Kosmos Flight Starter Ultralight Airplane Construction Kit

It's tough to fly when you're just a glider. Experiment with the laws of aerodynamics and learn how planes stay up in the air with the very coolest in educational engineering toys! You can't come in like a reindeer and expect to take off again, so practice your take-offs and landings. Creating an airplane requires imagination, patience...and construction materials that are light weight and built to last: Ultralight bamboo wood pieces and craft sticks reinforced with ultralight plastic strips. Kids use these components to successfully construct an aircraft that stays aloft even if no one pilots it from afar because, well, they built it themselves.

An ideal birthday gift or Christmas present for boys and girls aged 7 and up
