ABSTRACT:
A kite-like device used by an individual for gliding or soaring through the air usually commencing from a high elevation such as a mountain top. The glider comprises a pair of leading members and a keel interconnected by a nose plate, a cross member extending between the leading members, a control frame structure hanging from the keel, a king post for supporting tie wires or cables and a fabric such as Dacron secured to the leading members and keel. The cross member is pinned at its ends to the leading members and it is hinged at its center to permit the cross member and in turn the leading members to fold toward the keel to thereby make the glider easier to carry or transport.
