It ended up being mostly my husband and me assembling it, but our son did sneak in here and there to help with some of the steps. We all had a great time! The instructions are clear, and the laser-cut wooden pieces are impressively high quality. Assembling it is part of the fun, and the clever hydraulic system using syringes and tubing makes it even more interesting to build. Once everything was put together, it became a launching station for both paper airplanes and darts! The kit includes printable paper plane templates, and the launching mechanism is surprisingly robust. Quick tip: You need to reset the plane launcher to its lower position (by pulling back the syringe) before each launch to retract the holding mechanism. This project seamlessly blends play and learning. It’s a hands-on introduction to hydraulics, physics, and basic engineering. The kids benefited from our hard work—they spent hours launching planes and darts across the room. It’s genuinely fun for both kids and adults. Highly recommend this kit for families seeking a creative, screen-free activity that offers both bonding and learning opportunities.

It is strong enough to pick up small toys and stuffed animals. It is NOT strong enough to pick up a gallon of milk. I would say it can pick up most things under two pounds. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun, Educational, and Amazingly Well-Made! *by N***C on July 19, 2025* I bought the Smartivity Hydraulic Plane Launcher as a Father’s Day gift, hoping my husband and the kids could enjoy some quality hands-on time together.
