I actually ordered 3 Zoomer Gliders so that I could use one as a free-flight package with my kids and grandkids, one as an R/C Conversion, and keep a spare. Sometimes I meet a child that has a facination with flight and love to gift them airplanes to help that fire grow. However these are soo well made that I may just have to keep them all! LOL. Great flyer right out of the package. Durable EPO type foam, and very well crafted in my opinion. R/C Conversion to be started soon as flying season is right around the corner. If you thought about adding this to your collection, I would highly reccommend that you do so!

I bought this little glider to introduce my two kids to R/C. The plane arrived in a box that looked squashed on one side. No problem with the airplane though. A minor dent in wing. This glider flies great! My 4 and 7 year old daughters were able to make it do tricks like mad. I even had a blast chucking it around the neighborhood park! I highly recommend this for the family. Buy a couple and keep them in the trunk just in case you get bored or have a long get-to-gether with the in-laws. LOL!

Our glider club had a meeting in December. One of the members brought a zoomer. Well we had so much fund gliding it aound the meeting room I bought one for myself and 2 more for the neighbor's kids.

These are the best "chuck gliders" I have ever flown. The fly so well and the foam is so durable it is amazing. When they come down hard they just bounce. Terriffic.

You can play glider catch with them or just enjoy throwing them into a great glide. A true bargain for a great time. I highly recommend the Zoomer.

After watching the videos on the website and reading the reviews, I was excited to order the Zoomer. I almost changed my mind after discovering that the shipping charges were $10 on a plane that cost $14, but I went ahead and did it. After opening the box I noticed that the fuselage was bent at the tail, near the slot where the horizontal stabilizer is inserted. I could see a little crack in the styrofoam. I bent it back out and decided to go ahead and try it, but it was obvious that the box was not long enough for the fuselage so it had been inserted into the box on diagonal corners and got bent. I also took note of the fact that there were absolutely no instructions in the package. No instructions on how to assemble and no instructions on how to fly. Yes, I know now that you have videos here online that show all of that, but try telling that to a 5 year old who just got his plane and wants to go outside and fly it. So we went outside and tried it and it was a huge disappointment. After several nose dives, we played with adjusting the tail and the wings. It did get better but it never did fly anything like your videos show on this website. My friend tried throwing this plane like a fastball and it still didn't go more than about 30 feet. I will admit, it is durable because after numerous nose dives into the ground, it was still all in one piece. So I spent $24 for a plane that was flown for a total of about 20 minutes and will probably never be flown again. Truly disappointed.

I have purchased a lot of gliders looking for a durable glider to toss around with others and this is the only one I have every found that is resonably priced, flies well and is durable. Basically you get good value for your money and have a lot of fun to boot!

Is there a rating better than 5 stars??? I really want to give it 10 out of 5 stars, but I guess 5 out of 5 will have to do.

Oh my gosh.... sooooooo much fun!!! From the moment I fist saw this thing zip through the air, I was hooked! The first day I got to throw it, my throwing arm was sore for 2 days after, mostly because I am very out of shape, but nonetheless, I was running around like a kid having a BLAST with this thing.

It flies so well. It is really hard to put into words. "it just goes and goes". Indoors it looks like it is on a zip line. Outdoors you can get this thing to go 50 - 75 yards - probably more. Just bend the styro to trim it out. The best throw I have had was into a 5 to 10 mph wind thrown as hard as I can. It climbed about 50 ft. into the air, turned around and flew down wind and landed 4 houses away in the opposite direction!! It was crazy.

My 4 year old nephew Max was having literally too much fun... after about 20 minutes of throw... run... throw... run... throw... run... he ended up vomiting all over himself. Hahaha. So much fun he literally made himself sick.

I've been in R/C for years, but this non-R/C experience ranks up there with the best of them. Simple & fun! Everyone needs one of these things.

This little airplane is awesome! It really is as much fun as it looks. It's more fun than playing catch with a football -- and I love football. It's a little harder to anticipate where this glider will go compared to a baseball, because the wind is part of the game, but it's an absolute blast to tune the tail and practice throwing it like a dart -- because its able to fly straight, you can really zip it to your buddy. Catch it by the nose, by the wing... it's really tough!

it doesn't matter how weak your arm is -- this little airplane takes flight. If you feel compelled, it's easy enough to imagine how to put more weight in the nose and throw it farther, and farther and farther.... some folks want to put power on the glider.. The best glider for the buck, the best glider period!
