The gliders can be flown indoors and need still air to work well. These are very light model gliders, lighter than standard paper airplanes (but there is a paper design called a tumblewing).

Sure you can divert air upwards with a flat hand as Alda starts out doing, but if you're standing under it and controlling it with a bald pate, surely it's the thermals coming off your dome. In which case, the less hair the better! Also, shame that the end shot with the wistful music and soppy closing is a plane slowly crashing. Is it AIR as they mention, or THERMALS?

When I purchased them it was for a museum program I was doing. The company quit making them and I bought all they had left in stock. So if anyone would one of these I am selling. If there is interest I will post them on Craig's list. Tyler whom I have met is a super smart very nice guy. I have 4 or 5 of these things.

But there's only one beginner design on the internet (that I can find at least), so you can only do so much... I’ve seen this before, and it sounds like fun to do.
