FLYING MACHINE AIRPLANE

The Lawn Dart

Ah, the majestic hum of a rubber band engine—nothing says “aviation pioneer” like launching a balsa wood bird across the backyard and watching it nosedive into your neighbor’s begonias. This classic Guillow’s Flying Machine kit lets you build a sleek 17” wingspan glider with a wind-up propeller, plastic wheels, and dreams of flight. Includes two motor bands: one for power, one for when you lose the first one in the lawn. It’s everything the Wright brothers wanted—if they had a ten-minute attention span and access to shrink wrap.
