Wow. Topless single-surface gliders. Who'da thunk it?

hey Fred I recognize that glider;) It's working out well for Andrea and I. We have had some great flights on it.

Cool trailer. A piece of this should find its way to the wack hall of fame - the glider wacks on the beach so hard that it flips over. Ouch.

Could Rio be another toy based movie?

.."The blurring of merchandising and film continues with Mattel aggressively pursuing bringing a â€œHot Wheelsâ€� movie to the big screen."..

We might need to plan for an uptick in Tandems and hang glider sales. Disney may be planning for the R/C sales segment.

Here's a scene from Toy Story 3. Seems Pixar has developed their own single-surface topless glider. It has some unusual landing characteristics (sorry Jonsey) AND folds up like a cheap lawn chair too.
