I saw one shop selling recently, at block 1A Eunos Crescent. About a dollar or so. http://gothere.sg/maps#q:1a%20eunos%20crescent At that block, face north, the right most shop. Indian shop keeper. I don't advice to buy any of his titbits, but there are those planes there. Used to play them too, quite fun.. Got another type I like is the one with the wood fuselage, with foam or balsa wings, and rubber band to wind up the propeller.. THAT I can't find, so if anyone knows where to find one, share details please! Thanks. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your picture, the plane got propeller in front. The one selling at bookshop only has a lead weight nose at the front. I used to play with wooden one where there was a rubber band attached and one wind the propeller to coil the rubberband and then released into the air. Once the rubberband unwind fully, the plane fell down ... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dwee 5th Gear November 18, 2013 Share November 18, 2013 Is also used to be one of my favourite toys during my younger days. Used to collect quite a few of it. I don't seems to see any shops selling this anymore. The biscuit King shop do sell a few of the 80's toys but I don't find this there..

Those were fun. You're welcome. I seldom see people playing with that already. I have another plane (birthday gift from someone). Took me a while to google this. It's an Air Hogs Air Pressure Engine plane!! This. The plane quite easy to fix, just pump air into the tank and the compressed air will drive the propeller. Quite fun, the plane can fly quite high also. It's somewhere in my mom's storeroom.. Slightly more upmarket version of the balsa wood prop plane, but very fun! It was a gift anyway, so cost = $0.. Also, found this from Air Hogs.. Should be more fun than just normal RC helo.. Edited November 21, 2013 by Hydrocarbon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Air Hogs helo looks like fun. But speaking of R/C helos, you should check out Mustafa B2 (carpark level, so it's very convenient). They have all sorts of R/C helos - from the smallest to the biggest size. Even the really huge ones seem quite reasonably priced - I saw a big one that was only $79.90! They also have R/C helos with a cool battle tag system - you can shoot at them with a provided IR gun and they will "fall" to the ground if you score a hit. Not as awesome as this Air Hogs dart thing, but still pretty cool. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
