Your cart is empty.Flying Toys from Daron fly. They really fly! Once the swivel is firmly attached to the ceiling, the aircraft will accurately navigate itself on a 360 degrees flight path at the length of the string. Gift Boxed. Batteries NOT included. Makes a great gift!.

I had one as a kid and now my kids have one too. Perfect toy at an excellent price. My kids love it when I turn on the plane for bed time. Easy assembly and only uses one AA battery. I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase.

This plane is set up above my office desk and is awesome! It’s a bit tricky getting the battery to seat in correctly and to button up the hatch. I took my time and didn’t force the plastic to the point of breaking. I put custom decals on evenly. Once hooked to the ceiling with the three tiny screws and the fish line hooked into the plane it’s ready to go. Flip the on switch and gently give it a clockwise push. The plane will correct and start its flight pattern circling. Stopping it is a little more tricky. I reach up and gently use my soft hands to catch it. Don’t worry the propellers won’t hurt. Turn motor switch off. I leave it on the hook dangling when not powered. I’ve gotten plenty of compliments. Happy with the purchase.

I bought this plane a very long time ago, and my kids played with it for years. It’s held up great, so definitely good quality. Ease of assembly and ease of use made it super simple for them to enjoy right away. The size is just right for little hands, and it's great value for money. Flies well on the string and kept them entertained for hours. Would buy again!

This Flying Skyhawk On a String feels cheaply made and is a little short on detail, but it is colorful and functions decently. The instructions leave a little to be desired, and I suspect some people will misread/misunderstand them and be (unduly) disappointed in the toy's functionality as a result.First, you have to assemble it and apply the included decals. This takes about 3 to 5 minutes.Then, you have to mount one of the included swivel mounts to your ceiling with three screws. This part is a bit frustrating, since I was hoping installation wouldn't require a drill and screw mounts. So you have to be pretty sure about where you want to mount it, and then once you do, you'll have a length of fishing line dangling there semi-permanently (fortunately, you can at least unhook the plane to save your head from bumping into it). This is one of the main reasons I deducted two stars. It should be possible to unhook the fishing line from the mount, so that you can leave the mount screwed into the ceiling without having a dangling line. Instead, to remove the line, you'll have to unscrew the mount--leaving behind three holes in your ceiling.Once the mount is screwed into the ceiling, you hook on the plane, turn it on, and give it a push in a "clockwise direction." Here is where the instructions feel most confusing (another reason I deducted stars). Since it's hanging overhead, I bet most people will think of "clockwise" as moving in a circle from left-to-right AS YOU LOOK UP AT THE FLIGHTPATH. But actually, they mean clockwise AS YOU LOOK DOWN (FROM ABOVE) AT THE FLIGHTPATH. Of course, trial and error will fix it. After two minutes of watching it fly in a pathetically angled (almost sideways) attitude, I tried pushing it in the opposite direction and suddenly it was flying beautifully.A final word of caution: You'll need about a six foot diameter UNOBSTRUCTED space for this to fly. Since we have a ceiling fan in our daughters' small bedroom, it was tricky but we found one corner where it could fly without hitting the wall or the ceiling fan (though the fishing line swings unnervingly close to the latter). And as the plane flies, ours emits noticeably whirring as well as a rattling noise. I would expect a toy this simple to function more quietly (yet another reason I deducted stars).All in all, not a bad purchase if you have a budding aviation buff, like my one-year-old daughter, who squeals with glee when she sees a plane. You get what you pay for and this is adequate, but some more detail, a detachable fishing line (from the mount), and less rattle as it flies would make it substantially better.
