Review: Fun to build, fun to play with. - A very well-designed educational model. My 10- and 8-year-old grandchildren very much enjoyed finding the pieces and constructing where able. Adult assistance is a must, as this is a fragile kit (it needs to be light!) and any false move during construction could destroy it. That said, the resultant hovercraft works, is fun, is strong enough to play with, and brought happy smiles. Construction took about an hour.
Review: Great to do and when finished - Great gift, my son (9) did this with very little help and really enjoyed it. The finished hovercraft with a working skirt went over changes in flooring really well and was well worth the money.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Son loves it
*by M***. on 30 December 2021*

Bought this for our 8 year son who loves hovercrafts. He did need help to assemble it but he absolutely loves it. 1 downside is it does eat batteries but it goes amazing when fresh batch are put in.
