Yeah, of course, you'd have to get one every day because they wouldn't last more than an hour. They'd break or get stuck in a tree or on a roof.

Cats were another hazzard. After one or two flights, the cats decided the gliders qualified as birds, so were supposed to be pounced upon, clawed, and bitten.
Intriguing that in this age of plastic and computers Guillows can maintain such a large inventory of traditional balsa models. Yale

Reproductions of the 1950's Top Flite Jigtime all balsa sheet models:
Reproductions of the 1950's Jigtime sheet balsa models I used to fly the F-86 and the MIG-15 attached to fishing line on a fishing pole. Almost like U-Control.
