The other plane that looks like fun are those 'wings'. They look pretty indestrucatble.
The "wing thing" we had was a Canterbury Sailplanes "JAZZ"
About as close to unbreakable as you will ever find.
Its possible that a bbq plate could take more punishment
[and even then I would put money on the glider lasting longer]
The JAZZ is made of EPP foam which bounces instead of breaking on imact.
It is built for combat flying- where you have several in the air- trying to ram each other and make the opposition crash.
These particular "wings" only need a 2 channel controller with a mixer in the glider to control the elevons.
Be warned though- you need mates to have these things as well so you can dogfight.
make sure your radio gear operate on different frequencies or everything goes pear shaped.....
There are other brand wings around- and canterbury sailplanes have a newer updated version as well.
For combat flying its best to fly off hilltops or slopes as bungee launching is only practical for solo flights.
A cheap disposable version is the PIBROS delta wing, free plans on the intrweb.
