This just in from the planet Zorp! A mighty fine feather-light glider that's
whip-quick yet super-gentle ... harmless to anything it encounters. Even humans.
Even indoors. Preferred by Zorponians for centuries and now available on Earth.
To launch, just fill it with air, secure the tail, give it a tap on the tail and
see it soar. You can throw it too if you want. (Tip: Zorponians know to beware
of the wind when enjoying the Zorp Glider.)
Inflates to three feet long! Here is the package with two
Gliders. It can hang or stand on its own.
Tips for Playing with your Zorp Glider
Prepare Your ZORP GLIDER for Flight
-
Gently insert straw half-way into valve opening at tail-end of glider and
inflate (by adult) until glider is firm.
-
Peal off white paper from double-stick tape on glider tail and fold tail all the
way over onto glider body to secure. If tail does not lay down flat, secure it
with clear tape before launching.
-
Carefully slip the fabric weight onto the tip of the glider. Your Glider is
ready for flight!
Ways to Launch Your ZORP GLIDER
The simplest way to fly your Zorp Glider is to just throw it like a spear. It
will glide across the room.
To go faster you can bop it on the back like the boy in the picture above. With
one hand, hold glider so that tip of glider is facing forward. Tap the base of
the glider with your other hand and, at the same time, release glider for
flight.
You can also use rubber bands to launch your glider. Link three rubber bands
together in a chain. Slip one end of the chain on your thumb and the other on
you pointer finger. Put the tail of the glider on the middle rubber band, hold
on to the glider and pull it back. Let it go and watch it soar. If you twist the
glider a half turn after pulling it back, it will spin while it soars. This
makes for a very straight flight.
Hint: If glider seems nose heavy, trim off a small amount of the fabric
weight (at open end) until the glider flies straight and far. Zorp Glider is
perfect for indoor play. If glider is used outdoors, beware of the wind!
