ABSTRACT:
A toy glider is shown having a unitary wing formed of closed cell resin material disposed in a slot formed in a fuselage in which a weight is located to place the center of gravity of the glider at a point which, along with selected flexibility of the wing, produces a cyclical up and down flapping type of movement of the wings when placed in flight above a threshold velocity. The glider has no horizontal stabilizer and the fuselage has a force-receiving surface adapted to accommodate the distal portion of a person's finger.
