If you have access to park or other open space, BUY THIS!!  Bought this for something to do with my teenagers.  It was delivered and had it sitting on the table.  The kids took it to the nearby park and tossed it around.  I was at work, but they were all smiles describing how much fun it was.  I have yet to personally test it but the teens reported that it will fly great distances with a little practice.  Not much effort is needed to get it down range.  I had one when I was a kid, I assume this is the same design as those from the 80's, if so you will get hours of entertainment.  My kids reported that chasing it around was a good workout.  The kind of workout where you are having fun and don't realize how much exercise your getting.  I can't wait to throw it myself.
