Flying Glider - Introduction

This is my collection of "Flying Glider" gliders which I randomly found on E-bay.  They were made in Taiwan.  They came individually packaged in a pack of three, and all the packs are numerically ordered.  Each glider package included a cardboard insert which has a nice and colorful picture of what the actual airplane looked like.  Many of the pictures show that the actual airplanes were biplanes or had a parasol wing, however as you will see the glider does not resemble the picture.   I have no idea which company made them, although I can't help but think that they very much resemble the Tsubame gliders that I posted pictures of earlier.  I am a bunch of these, and would definitely purchase the rest of them, given the chance.
