Walkalong Glider Made from Phone Book Paper

Step 4 Launching the tumblewing

Hold the folded strip at the center of the trailing edge (the trailing edge has the fold which goes up) with the wing tips pointing up. Let the glider go. It should tumble slowly down and forward. If it "falls off" and angles to one side or the other, the wingtip folds may not be symetric and will need adjustment. Make sure you fly the tumblewing indoors and in a location with as little drafts as possible.
