How cool is this? The black light charger located in the base of the shooter ignites the specially coated discs so they exit the shooter glowing, shining, and streaking light through the air.

Wright Bat Kit

First to recommend

Description

As I probably mentioned on another list (or maybe even this one) I love what I call "retro-tech". That's like old school products that, back in the day when they were new, were what the people of that time thought the future was going to look like. This is a good example.

When the Wright brothers received their first flying toy, they called it a “bat” for the way it wound up and flew in the air. Now you can experience a replica of that original flyer with this kit, a model that can fly up to 30 feet in the air. Build from plastic pieces and a large rubber band, this kit is easy to assemble and takes only a few minutes to snap together. The Wright Bat Kit requires no cutting or gluing and has a durable construction that works indoors or outdoors. Simply wind it up and set it loose to discover what those early inventors of flight experienced when they were young.

Rotor Diameter: 9.75"

Pitsco Yellow Peril Rubber Band Powered Airplane

First to recommend

Description

I guess they could have come up with a more culturally sensitive name but whatever. This bright yellow model airplane bearing the skull and crossbones is unmistakable! The namesake of a Formula 1 Reno racer, Yellow Peril features rugged construction and stable flying abilities. This airplane sports a real airfoil and laser-cut ribs, and its dihedral supports make wing joining a breeze. This rubber band-powered model is perfect for beginners.

Use this to wind your rubber-band powered plane. This winder for rubber band-powered planes saves you from the time-consuming work of twisting the rubber band until it is tight enough to fly your plane. The electronic winder has a tracking meter that displays the number of rotations, as well as a comfortable handle with a winding button and strap. Requires two AA batteries, sold separately.
