to help your glider to be assured that she won't come to harm...make sure all dogs and cats are evacuated..or given to someone who LIKES them..hehe...seriously..it helps to have another person to stand about 2 feet away, and let your glider swap shoulders with you and the other person..gradually increase the distance and she will accomedate, hell... i tried 3 different times to spell that word,,anyway, you get my drift, she needs to exercise her glider wings ,,,so to speak: One of my gliders took about a 1 1/2 years
: to learn to glide. Even now she doesn't do it
: that well. She definately was afraid of heights.
: YOu can't really teach them to glide, except by tossing
: them, and that's pretty cruel.

: Are its flaps developed? My gliders took a long time
: to fully develop, so that might of been her problem.
: Just start your glider off with mini jumps, 2-3 inches,
: and then get higher as she becomes used to the height,
: and eventually hopefully she will catch on.
