Comments left:	Back in the early 1970's I also had Zorr the flying eagle and the Superstar car. The car ran great. I would take it o my jr. high school parking lot and make many runs with it. After time the tires wore down and the battery would no longer work but I got alot of fun out of it. The Zorr flying eagle was very cool. Sometimes I had trouble getting it to take off but I had it setting on a small dirt hill in the park next to my house and the claws would catch the dirt and the clip would pop off. Using a small peice of smooth wood for a take off strip worked great. Once in the air it would really fly. If if flew high enough the gusts of wind would catch it and take it on a long flight. Not sure exactly what became of it. I think I lost it to a flight into a bunch of trees. I was good at repairing my toys but eventually zorr was to far gone to repair so I moved on to other gliders and flying toys. I did purchase and build one of the balsa wood models that would take a .049 engine and you flew it on a hand held line. I tried it a couple times and left it at my friends who built all kinds of remote planes. They took it out one day and were flying it in front of their house when the flight line snapped and the plane flew over their house and out of sight. Now I have a couple Zorr's. One MIB sealed and the other unused but has minor damage and missing the right half of the body. I really want to display one so if I do not find a donor Zorr soon I will most likely open the sealed box just to borrow the body part for display. Mattel made some very cool stuff in the early 70's.
