Guillow GUI75 Flying Machine Rubber Band Powered Balsa Kit

The Guillow® GUI75 Flying Machine is a rubber band powered balsa wood airplane kit from one of the most trusted names in balsa modeling. Guillow has been producing balsa airplane kits since 1926, and the Flying Machine carries on that tradition with a rubber band motor that drives a propeller for powered climb before settling into a smooth, stable glide. The rubber band motor stores energy through winding, releasing it to spin the propeller and lift the aircraft to altitude — delivering longer, more impressive flights than a basic hand-launch glider. A satisfying build that rewards with genuine powered free-flight performance, the Flying Machine is a great step up for builders ready to move beyond simple hand-launch gliders.
