My gliders once took a "flying leap" from ceiling to floor. And let me tell you, when they land it sounds AWFUL: SPLAT! I thought they would both be unconscious but they weren't really phased. In the wild of course they go much further. But even then they apparently aren't that graceful!

juno can get about a foot of vertical over two, two and a half feet lateral, this is estimating based on watching her cruise around my room. when she gets to a high point and opens up, she gets probably 10 feet of lateral from a height of about 6 feet, and when she launches from that particular spot, she's actually facing down already, so she can't get much upward thrust...they can jump pretty far tho, juno usually clears three or four feet without losing much altitude when she jumps from something or someone to my shoulder, and again she's usually pointed down...i think she can jump farther if she starts horizontal...
tell you what i'll find out when i get home in a couple days, but for now estimate five feet if youre trying to keep your glider out of trouble.

's also gonna have a lot to do with the amount of jumping, climbing and gliding exercise your glider gets, as well as diet...a physically fit and well exercised glider will really be able to rocket around...
