Abstract
A toy glider kite capable of effectively functioning as a kite when held by a tow line and as a glider when released for free flying. The glider kite comprises a pair of flexible wing sections which are pivotal relative to one another between kite and normal glider modes of operation. In the kite mode of operation, the wing sections pivot to form a dihedral angle of one value in relation to a reference plane. In the normal glider mode of operation, the wing sections pivot to form a dihedral angle in relation to the reference plane which is smaller than the one value.
