"They are what they are! You get 48 airplanes for $4.99. So my expectations were just that, 10 cent airplanes. The wing and tail were a little flimsy, (being made out of card stock) however the body is made of plastic and the nose was weighted. I would be willing to pay a little more for better quality, but again, these are 10 cent airplanes. I thought they were super cute and my son's classmates and teachers thought the same. Sometimes they had awesome flight and sometimes they didn't."
