Although there are many walkalong glider designs, the new Spinny foam design is proving best by far to start out with. It is quick and easy to make—just 4 stickers holding the circles to the rectangle. So people have the satisfaction of building their glider with their own hands, but without soaking up much time.
It flies more slowly than other designs, so you have time to think and react. In my tests with schools and youth groups everyone gets flying in the first session.
It’s more durable in young, excited hands than any other design. If it gets bent, bend it back (although is still flies well even if bent). If it rips, tape it together with a small piece of tape on both sides. It folds almost flat so kids can take it home and show their families.
The Spinny is about 1/3 the cost of what was previously the best glider to start with (the ready-to-fly Jagwing).
I hope teachers will feel free to use the step-by-step building and flying video–hosted by 2 friendly young people–either with a projector as a group, or individually at their own pace with tablet devices.
I have been sending myself parts for 4 gliders through the mail in regular envelopes and they have come back in good shape even though they have obviously gone through sorting machines. The parts are slightly flattened but still work perfectly. Now I am looking for a bigger sample size. If you want to try out walkalong gliders—but not 50 of them—with the understanding that you will email me about how they fared in the mail, then contact me. I will send you a PayPal invoice for $4.50, or $5.50USD for international destinations outside the U.S. If it gets wrecked in the mail, send me a picture so I can analyze what’s happening and of course I will refund your money.
