The Guillow® GUI55 Jetstream is a classic balsa wood hand-launch glider kit with wheels from one of the most trusted names in balsa airplane modeling. Guillow has been producing balsa airplane kits since 1926, and the Jetstream adds functional rolling landing gear to the traditional balsa glider format — giving it a more realistic, scale aircraft appearance compared to basic glider designs. The wheels allow the Jetstream to roll on smooth surfaces for a realistic takeoff run before hand-launching, adding an extra dimension of play and realism to the free-flight experience. Lightweight balsa construction keeps the glider airborne with smooth, stable glide characteristics. A great choice for builders who want a little more scale realism in their balsa glider build.Key Features Part Number: GUI55 Guillow Jetstream balsa wood hand-launch glider kit Includes rolling wheels for realistic landing gear Lightweight balsa wood construction Beginner-friendly build — introduces balsa construction fundamentals No motor or power system required — hand-launched free flight CompatibilityHand-launch free flight glider — no additional equipment required beyond basic modeling tools and adhesive for assemblyBenefits Rolling wheels add scale realism and allow ground roll before hand-launch Classic Guillow construction — trusted balsa kit quality since 1926 Lightweight balsa delivers smooth, stable glide performance Simple build — quick assembly for a satisfying modeling experience No power system needed — hand-launch and fly anywhere More scale realism than basic glider designs thanks to functional landing gear Quick TakeWant a balsa glider with a little more scale flair?
