ABSTRACT:
A flight-simulating airplane toy that consists of a two-handle control grip resembling a conventional cockpit control yoke comprising a forward-projecting shaft upon which a model aircraft is removably mounted. The shaft is rotatably journaled on a bearing in the front of the grip and is driven by a reversible motor actuated by control switches in the handles that permit a user to rotate the shaft clockwise or counterclockwise, thus simulating an aircraft roll in either direction as the grip is held stationary. The proximal end of the shaft is fitted with radial arms that are visible through a window in the grip, thus providing a bank indicator for the position of the craft with respect to the ground. The same grip can be used with different airplane models by replacing planes through a connection of the distal end of the shaft with a longitudinal opening along the back side of the plane.
