THIS "LOOPING PLANE" IS A REALLY COOL MODEL/TOY TO USE AND WATCH! IT'S SIMPLY TO OPERATE AND THESE ARE IT'S KEY FEATURES:
1.) MOVES IN EITHER DIRECTION,
2.) FIGHTER PLANE IS HELD ATTACHED TO TRACK BY STRONG MAGNETS,
3.)
FIGHTER PLANE CIRCLES THE INSIDE OF THE TRACK ... CAUSING
,
4.)
THE TRACK TO PIVOT (ORBITS) WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE SHIFTING FIGHTER PLANE,
5.) FIGHTER PLANE HAS A WORKING LIGHT,
6.) SPINNING PROPELLER,
7.) CLICKS TOGETHER FIRMLY AND WITHIN MINUTES,
8.) BATTERY POWERED (USES 3 SIZE "D" BATTERIES, NOT INCLUDED) AND
9.) HAS CONVENIENT WORKING "ON/OFF" SWITCH ON THE BASE.
THIS COOL PLASTIC AND TIN "LOOPING PLANE" TAKES THREE (3) SIZE "D" BATTERIES (NOT INCLUDED). WHEN THESE ARE PLACED INTO IT'S BATTERY COMPARTMENT WHICH IS LOCATED ON THE BOTTOM OF THE BASE, IT ADDS A FAIR AMOUNT OF WEIGHT TO THIS ITEM. THIS IS KEY AS IT SPINS AROUND SO FAST AT TIMES, YOU CAN BARLEY MAKE IT OUT! I DID TRY TO SHOW THIS ACTION IN MY PICTURES. THE ONES YOU SEE THAT ARE "BLURRY" HAVE NO FLASH ON, THE STILL FRAMES DO USE A FLASH TO "FREEZE" THE ACTION.
A COOL FEATURE IS THAT WHEN YOU SIMPLY REVERSE THE DIRECTION OF THE SMALL FIGHTER PLANE (PICK IT UP AND TURN IT AROUND), IT ALSO CHANGES DIRECTION!! SO YOU CAN HAVE THIS GO BOTH WAYS AS DESIRED.
THE BASE AND TRACK OF THIS "FIGHTER PLANE" ARE IN EXCELLENT ALL AROUND CONDITION. YOU HAVE NO RUST OR CORROSION ANYWHERE ON THE TRACK. THE PLASTIC SECTIONS HAVE NO STRESS CRACKS OR BUSTED TABS.
THE PLANE ITSELF IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AS WELL. THIS DOES SHOW SOME LIGHT WEAR AS THIS HAS BEEN PLAYED WITH MANY DECADES AGO. KEEP IN MIND THAT I AM NOT REPRESENTING THIS AS A NOS (NEW OLD STOCK) ITEM, BUT A USED TOY THAT WAS CHERISHED AND NEVER ABUSED .... AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, FULLY OPERATIONAL!! THE PROPELLER STILL TURNS WHEN POWERED UP!
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BASE IS VERY CLEAN WITH NO CORROSION ON ANY OF THE ORIGINAL CONTACTS.
THE CIRCULAR TRACK SIMPLY FITS/SLIDES ON THE TWO ARMS ON THE BASE! THESE ARMS SLIDE INTO THE BASE AND LOCK IN BY PULLING THESE APART. THIS TAKES UNDER A MINUTE TO DO AND ONCE YOU DO THIS THE FUN REALLY STARTS!!
YOU PLACE THE FIGHTER PLANE ONTO THE TRACK ... IN EITHER DIRECTION AND THEN TURN IT ON!
AND AWAY IT GOES ..... THE COOL GYROSCOPE ACTION WILL KEEP YOU GLUED TO THIS ACTION FOR HOURS!
THE ORIGINAL PACKAGING IS 100% COMPLETE AND ALL HERE, HOWEVER YOU DO HAVE SOME ADDED VINTAGE TAPE ON THE LID (ON BOTH THE INSIDE ND THE OUTSIDE OF THE LID). THE GRAPHICS ARE STILL SHARP AND CLEAN.
PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT MY PICTURES, AS THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT YOU WILL BE RECEIVING FROM ME AND THESE PICTURES DO BECOME A KEY PART OF MY DESCRIPTION. IF YOU'D LIKE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION OR PHOTOS, PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME AND I'LL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
BY MY STANDARDS AND POLICIES, I VERY RARELY DO NOT TEST WHAT IT IS I AM OFFERING HERE ON E-BAY.... THIS IS ONE OF THOSE EXEMPTIONS!  AFTER ALL JUST HOW DIFFICULT IS IT TO TEST A MODEL? ALL ONE NEED DO IS TO TOSS IN A FEW BATTERIES AND GIVE IT A GO, OR A SIMPLE PUSH TO SEE IF THE FRICTION DRIVE IS WORKING!  I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE SELLERS WHO WILL EVER SAY "THIS MODEL IS UNTESTED AND AS SUCH IT IS SOLD IN AS IS CONDITION" OR , "I HAVE NOT TESTED THE WIND-UP MECHANISM (CLOCK-WORK) AS I DO NOT HAVE A KEY, SO THIS WILL BE SOLD UNTESTED AND AS IS". THIS
"LOOPING PLANE" IS FULLY TESTED AND I SEE NO NEED TO RETEST THIS AS IT PERFORMED ALL OF IT'S ORIGINAL FEATURES FLAWLESSLY.
I TAKE PRIDE IN MY MODELS THAT I OFFER HERE IN THE E-BAY WORLD. I DO HAVE OPTIONS AND I CHOOSE TO OFFER ONLY THE VERY FINEST THAT I HAVE AVAILABLE.
ONCE AGAIN, PLEASE TAKE A GOOD LOOK AT THESE PICTURES AS THEY DO BECOME AN ESSENTIAL PART OF MY DESCRIPTION.
THIS IS A RELATIVELY NEW STORE FOR ME HERE ON E-BAY, BUT, I COME WITH A WELL OILED AND POLISHED TRACK RECORD! I AM CURRENTLY (NOT ON THIS ACCOUNT ... YET!!) A GOLD T/RATED P-Seller WITH OVER 8 YEARS OF THIS STATUS BACKING ME. I SPECIALIZE IN PRIMARILY THE AUTOMOTIVE FIELD AND I CONCENTRATE WITH/ON PORSCHE, BENTLEY, AUDI AND "
PORSCHE DESIGN

ALL OF MY DOMESTIC SHIPMENTS WILL BE INSURED FOR THE SELLING PRICE. I ENTER THE SHIPPING DATA DAILY INTO BOTH E-BAY AND PAYPAL. THIS COOL, VINTAGE, BATTERY OPERATED "LOOPING PLANE"
WILL BE SENT VIA
U
PS AND WILL BE FULLY INSURED
.
FOR MY INTERNATIONAL SHIPMENTS, I WILL BE PLACING THIS ITEM INTO EBAY’S "GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM (GSP)". UNFORTUNATELY, IN THE PAST I HAVE HAD SOME RUN-IN’S WITH SOME VERY SCRUPULOUS INTERNATIONAL BUYERS, WHO BY THEIR NATURE … "DO NOT PLAY WELL WITH OTHERS". CONSEQUENTLY, I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO USE EBAY’S GSP AS THIS DOES OFFER "WE THE SELLERS" SOME ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FROM THESE FOLKS.
THIS ITEM MUST BE DECLARED FOR IT’S SELLING PRICE. IT IS SIMPLY NOT POSSIBLE TO DECLARE AN ITEM FOR .00 AND THEN TURN AROUND AND ATTEMPT TO INSURE IT FOR 0.00! IN ADDITION, VIA THE GSP, THEY (EBAY) AUTOMATICALLY FIGURES OUT THE IMPORT FEE (IF APPLICABLE) AND COLLECTS THIS, SOMETHING I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.
