I had one of these for about 3 minutes when I was in 2nd grade. As soon as I got him home, I launched him into the air where he landed high in some tree that he never came down from. Later, in 4th grade, my friend Chester in San Lorenzo had a helicopter toy that I lost in a similar time frame when it miraculously landed in the bed of a passing pickup truck that drove off with it as I chased in vain after it down the street. For months I looked in the back of trucks that were parked just in case it was still there.
