Abstract
A flight vehicle toy includes a pair of vehicles driven about a support stand in a simulated race or "dog" fight through support arms which are rotated from a pair of coactial shafts in the support stand. The toy vehicles are mounted on the support arms through a release mechanism such that when one vehicle imparts the vehicle in front of it during play the front vehicle will be disengaged from its support arm and propelled out of the game. The speed of the respective vehicles can be independently varied by the players and the support arms are dimensioned such that the vehicles can pass above or below one another at all positions during play of the game, except when the vehicles are on a collision course. And, a separate control for the drive motors rotating the arms varies the relative speeds of the two vehicles automatically during the game.
