Abstract
A hand propelled air glider type aerodynamic toy. The toy includes an elongated fuselage, a nosepiece which acts as a balance weight, a flat plastic or styrofoam member with an offset cutout which acts as the wings of the device, and a wing adjuster which secures the wing to the fuselage. The wing adjuster slidably accepts the fuselage to provide adjustments of the wing for different flight characteristics. The plastic fuselage passes through the cutout of the wing member thereby causing a slight upturn of the rear portion of the wing. The combination of the wing cutout and the angle of the wing construction with respect to the fuselage gives the device its aerodynamic properties.
