Yea they love it It has flaps so it's not too terribly hard to get it off the ground. I also added dual nose gear to it but you can't really see that. Also, since it has those crosses on it, I added lettering to the bom bay that says "Derbommenplane" My favorite candy to drop are those neon colored pixie sticks that Dollar General sells. They really scatter and are very easy to see on the ground. BTW, it's a bashed ARF so I guess you would call it a "BARF"
