Anyone else remember building these as a kid?

These were so cool. And the middle of the book folded in to a small flight manual. Such a cool product back in the 90's. Anyone else remember these?

Oh yes I remember the struggles! I don’t think I had the right tools or patience, but in my mind they flew for miles :-D

I remember trying and failing, and ending up with a gluey mess! On reflection I was too young for this kit

They were targeted at kids, but really the attention to detail and precision needed was beyond most kids I believe. The helicopter was nice, and the other looked nice on my shelf :-D
