Hello Community, I want to share a little story behind DragonFly, my entry for this contest. Like many Creators here, my biggest inspiration comes from my own children — their curiosity, endless questions, and desire to explore the world around them. I still remember how flying models fascinated me as a child and eventually inspired me to build an aviation career. Today, kids have many more opportunities than we had 20–30 years ago, but I still believe that a simple flying model can spark the same sense of wonder. DragonFly was designed as a simple free-flight biplane that is fun not only to fly, but also to assemble, adjust, and experiment with. Small changes in the setup can noticeably affect the flight, encouraging children to ask questions and discover basic principles of aerodynamics and physics on their own. DragonFly became a biplane because I've always found something special in that shape. Like a dragonfly, it immediately looks alive and ready to fly. Even people who know nothing about aviation often stop for a moment when they see a classic biplane silhouette. My goal is not only to create toys, but to create experiences that inspire curiosity and learning. I hope that through building, modifying, and flying these models, children can better understand the world around them and develop an interest in science, engineering, and technology. The best reward for me is seeing my own children enjoy these models — and hopefully they can inspire other young builders too. Happy Flights! #ChildrensToys #Contests #Flying(Edited)

Dear Friends, I’ve got something new for you 😉 Meet SkyStar — built on the WingStar philosophy, but now with a little more attitude. Yes… it finally has ailerons, a refined elevator, and can be flown as a simple 2-channel RC model for those who like to keep things light and fun. It’s still the friendly glider you know — just a bit more capable and ready to put a bigger smile on your face. Can’t wait to see your builds and hear your flight stories! #Newmodel #Flying(Edited)
