    Abstract: No manufacturer of Flying Model Rocket Kits at present have a rocket that carries four gliders at once, have gliders that are dual purpose, have gliders that are released in the way Glide-A-Raptor's gliders are released, or have the flight characteristics that Glide-A-Raptor has. Glide-A-Raptor releases its gliders in a Fleur-de-lis pattern; it often reminds you of a break away flight pattern that is preformed by the Blue Angels. It is a sight to see. All 4 gliders are long delta wing gliders with a steep angle. This steep angle enables 4 gliders to be mounted onto a single rocket with a symmetry that enables the rocket to use the gliders as if they were permanent fins for the stability of the rocket during acceleration and flight.
