Comment:
This is a good concept and it runs very well, but it is less than expected. Let 's receive my complaints one by one.
16 planes - There are 16 paper airplanes in the kit, but in fact there are only 4 designs, so in reality they are building the same airplane four times.
I was inspired by Leonardo da Vinci. I did not recognize any of these projects in the da Vinci drawing, but probably I never saw them.
Little text - Leonardo has almost nothing written, but most of it is on an envelope containing paper. Of these 34 pages, 32 pages are paper for airplane.
That is said, I still like this concept, this book / let goes very well. Paper airplane paper is of the highest quality and their designs appear to have been torn from Da Vinci's notebook. The four designs are decent and flying very well. Instructions are complete and will work very well. We also have instructions on how to incorporate paper aircraft mobile devices. I will still buy this, but I think it's expensive for what you get with it.
In order to improve this, I have several pages on Da Vinci's life and era, and at least four more paper airplane designs are possible. Hopefully based on his design more accurately.
Total score: 4/10 Airplane
