This is a Blue Jay inspired glider, which features flapping wings. The wings are controlled by the pitch, meaning you have to constantly keep pitching up and down repeatedly for it to gain speed. Top speed is 150mph, best glide speed is 90mph, and stall speed is 45mph. It can land on water, and also take off, provided that the wings don't flap too hard when close to the water.
