If you want to learn to do walkalong gliding click on the "tumblewing" project at http://www.sciencetoymaker.org/ To make a similar glider, see Phil Rossoni's excellent Instructables directions http://www.instructables.com/id/Foam-... To buy the glider in this video, see http://www.windrider.com.hk/product.a... , the third item down. How cool is it when your favorite actor (Alan Alda) "retires" to host an intelligent, exciting PBS science program: Scientific American Frontiers.

I show the full tape to my students if I am absent. For a very reasonable $20 it is available from PBS here http://www.shoppbs.org/sm-pbs-scienti...

Check out the video responses, too. Several people throughout the world are making exciting innovations to this field. At sciencetoymaker there will be complete directions for making a paper version that you can fly with just your hands. Slater
The best way to know when the instructions come out is to subscribe. Then you should be informed as new projects are added. Right now my students are building the walkalong gliders. I am seeing where they have trouble and adjusting the instructions accordingly. Slater
