PlaySTEM Wind Powered Motor Glider
Ok toy for educational purposes, but flaws with concept. The glider doesn't fly well to begin with, coupled with charging it via WIND power. How do you really think it's gonna fly in windy conditions? In calm conditions which is ideal for the glider, you can't charge it via wind power. Do you see the problem?
