ABSTRACT:
A flight unit is tethered by a thread to a base with the thread being attached to the flight unit at a point offset from the longitudinal center of gravity of the flight unit so that one end hangs lower than the other end. The flight unit has a bar magnet therein and one or more additional magnets are disposed adjacent the path of movement of the flight unit, the additional magnets being poled to repel one end of the flight unit or attract a second end. The additional magnets cause the flight unit to pivot vertically about the point at which it is attached to the thread, this pivoting movement giving unusual and improved flight characteristics to the flight unit.
