ABSTRACT:
An improved toy glider having folding wings is retained in a launch configuration during launch by at least one wrappable retaining member. The at least one wrappable retaining member is wrapped around the glider during launch and prevents early deployment of the wings, and, after the glider is launched, becomes unwrapped from around the glider so as to allow deployment of the wings. The improved glider may advantageously include multiple long ribbon-like tails/streamers wrapped around the glider to prevent biased wings from transitioning from a launch to a glide configuration. After launch, the tails/streamers unwrap, and the wings transition from a launch configuration to a glide configuration.
