Oh man! this brings back memories. I received the Enterprise U-Fly-it for chrissy in 71 or 72. my Dad and I must have piled up 20000hrs on this one. Repainted the Phantom, then statred converting some of the old lindberg models- the original home made sim add-on.
Hats off to Joe Becker!

Looks like a fun toy. I like the way the plane turns around and comes back for your landing approach. Judging by the way kids go nuts when they see model trains running at shows, I'd say there's still a market for hands-on toys like this. :)

Great Toy!

I had toys from the generation previous to this one. They included Mattel's Ack Ack gun and Steve Canyon's Jet Helmet.

the Enterprise U-Fly-it
We had this in the UK as Airfix 'Flight Deck', with an F4 Phantom. I think 'Super Flight Deck' did the takeoff as well!
