I am just a little concerned about when they finally land, do they just linger in the sky until the fuel source runs out or can they land on something and ctach fire? That would not be a good. "Happy Birthday sweetie, oh but we burned the nieghbors...

Once they take lift and are rising, the burn out far up in the sky. Once out, they drift down extinguished with no fire. The key to not causing a fire is the LIFT OFF and that is dependent of wind, and temp differences. I have had better lanterns than these but I would give them 4 of 5 stars.

take the wheels off and land on the grass, you can get the plane down to very slow and it lands on grass greatI never used wheels. they are tiny and your takeoff/landing strip would have to be *very* smooth, like well done concrete, imoIt's a really fun plane

Not sure if would, we didn't tip them over. I know when they are empty and on their side, any amount of pressure sends the top flying like a rocket! Hope this helps.

Mostly they do come down once they are out but anything with fire can be dangerous around wooded areas especially if it has been really dry. I would be really careful around the woods.

Ours worked fine, it went very high, above our trees like 50' up just had to keep the throttle forward, you probably have a defective one. Just need to not crash land.

Yes, as long as you install them where ever you don't want them to land. Leave an empty space and they will land there. :-)

Hi they catch fire when you hold them in your hands. Then when the air get warm they fly

Recovery method is parachute. Great rocket. Painted it pumpkin orange and black. Wings give it a cool effect at take off...like slow motion then gone!

When the Sun goes Super Nova, I really need get off this planet. Or even sooner... Maybe not in my life time, but my father was a co-pilot during WW2 and flew with George McGovern. Really, is this a flyable (RC) plane? What has society gone too? Read the details.

They can be launched over and over. Of course, they might get shot somewhere that makes retrieving them impossible, but usually my kids (big & little) launch them straight up.

I crashed mine and hot glued it together and it worked fine for awhile. You really have to fly these in a open field. Over my years I always was impatient and was always the same outcome crashed planes!! I make a pledge no more flying around trees and houses!! GL

Hi! The tension should keep it up. Othwerwise, the astronauts need to perform some in space repairs (perhaps a tiny clothespin or paperclip might help?) ! How frustrating to have it keep falling!

You can get them to go anywhere. The only thing you have to be careful of is not being around too many tall trees so they can take off without running into anything. We set a couple off at our house before the event (no water around) an they went up perfectly and cleared the surrounding trees.

I don't think it would work very well. I think they would need to get enough speed up to glide without feet on the ground. I can't imagine it would be easy on gravel.

With seemingly no wind, I find that it still drifts a bit. It will fly over a second story roof. Whether or not it is actually a fun experience is up for debate.

They do not appear to be evacuated. They are to be kept in a cool, dry place. Ours have lasted several months.

It is quite possible that they will fly not only over the pond but far beyond that dry pasture as well. Warmer weather will definitely help it to float away. we did ours when it was much much cooler outside and they didn't work as well.
