THIS IS AN ONGOING ITEM!

I have been waiting and wanting to stock this item for some time. I am glad to have it in-house. Knowing, yes, I am an adult, damn, I decided to make a test with two very specific and entertaining little boys. It worked, they were hooked for hours: "How far can it go?" "How did you make it spin?""Let's have a race.", etc, etc. Made by Guillow, they refused us a factory tour due to their secret manufacturing technique. Hence, Marco has filed a job application for the assembly line; we will get in there sooner or later! Paul K Guillow, a WWI US Navy Aviator, founded the company in 1926 opening in his family barn. By 1927, when Lindbergh completed the first transatlantic flight, aviation suddenly became all the rage so Guillow found his products in high demand. In 1933 he moved the plant to its current location. Putting the plane together is half the fun the other half is flying and all the weird things that result. For example, getting one stuck in a small tree and the neighbor of the friend you are visiting coming out and yelling at you because she thinks you are deliberately trying to damage her property. That was kooky! Watch out!
