The brand I bought the most of was North Pacific. I'll bet many of you remember these as well. I also recall buying/flying folding wing balsa planes, but it wasn't the American Junior or North Pacific brand. I've yet to go through all the companies on the above site, so I may find it yet. Now that I know the name brand of the planes I flew, I'm going to have to see if I can find some on eBay. Tami will love that I found something else to collect. hehehe


I was the same way. Always had a plane in my hand or something flying.
I got the pic's to prove it! Lol.
NP Sleek Streak was my flyer but the NP Star Flyer was the coveted choice. It was BIG! They come up on Fee-Bay every once in a while. When I talked to Jim of Florio Flyer fame, he told me to keep his price down, he would 'employ' the neighborhood kids to help make parts and pay them with a glider.
