you did not walk

[zsurfer]

Yes, I did not walk. THis short video details only how the tumblewing should be launched. It is the second video in a series, to be followed by the video titled "Sustaining a Tumblewing Walkalong Glider with a Paddle"

good tips! can you do those without any plans or diagrams?

[zsurfer]

There are plans for this design, but once you get the hang of it you probably don't need plans.

how do you make a big walkalong glider

[zsurfer]

There is a jumbo walkalong glider but it is not a tumblewing. It has a wingspan of 3 meters. If you build an oversized tumblewing, you will probably need a larger area paddle to fly it.
