Abstract: A toy glider assembly is disclosed. The glider includes a fusilage, vertical stabilizer, and horizontal stabilizer. Wings are received in wing receiving members which are pivotably connected to a main wing support housing which in turn is pivotably connected to the fusilage. Pivoting the main wing support housing and the wing receiving members results in the wings being longitudinally aligned with the fusilage. A force imparting member is operative between the fusilage and the wing receiving members urging a force for emplacing the wings in their flight orientation with respect to the fusilage. A slignshot-like catapult serves to launch the glider assembly. In launching, the wings are held in longitudinal alignment with the fusilage and will open into flight orientation when the glider reaches its upper launch height.
