Alaplan: Flying Wing

 This simple toy looks adorable. The Alaplan of Italy.

I love the box art!


It's a sort of plastic flying wing.
By Brevettato.


Propelled via a hand held thrower I guess.


Do you like it?

  1. That's a lovely thing indeed Woodsy. Launcher looks like a catapult with an elastic band broken at one end? And brevettato means patented in Italian. Best -- Paul

  3. Lovely thing, and yes, propelled by an elastic slingshot, similar to the Quercetti toys such as the Fireball XL-5! SFZ
