I think with todays technologie 21stC shoul produce some of their aicraft to be RC models. Or at Least motorised with electronic sounds. Maybe do some of their tanks in RC also.

The best that 21st could do would be to motorize them. Plastic aircraft are WAY too heavy to fly, unfortunately......

Now, the tanks are a different story....

They could make some design changes and make them lighter and use styrafoam wings and have fixed landing gear. Ive seen some cheap air hogs at toys r us that look half way deacent and they are plastic and styrafoam.

How about a rip-chord to have the props turn, like the old Kenner SSPs? Probably end up taking someone's finger off, but still would be cool.

I remember that one but I cant think of the name. When I was a kid we used one as a grenade launcher while we was playing army.

PS there is a bunch of old farts on this board to remeber all these cool toys LOL

I had the EK Stunt Cycle and the Sky Cycle.
The Sky Cycle was junk though.
Did you know they are reproducing the Stunt Cycle? It seems to be a little smaller than the original.

Dude!!

I got the EK Stunt Cycle for Christmas, BDay and Christmas, all in a year (attrition!!). EK was my hero!!!! I got a new one back in '98 when Praying Mantis re-released them for $25!!!! I finally did it in when demonstrating it from the roof of my porch. Bad call, mate.......
