What do YOU want for Xmas?

THIS is what I want for Christmas. I didn't know they got this
advanced with these things. I bought a winded up one once when I was
in Paris.

That *is* cool. I, too, bought a wind-up version (in Wisconsin, not
France) once, and had a great time with it.

I wonder how they control direction of flight?

I think they don't. The clip was made of many short takes, and the bird
appeard to have no real directional control. On-off, a (fixed for
flight) tail setting, and the wind. When the bird is pointed right, you
flap. Otherwise you glide and wait.

Though that's an expensive way to handle RC. I lost a lot of model
rockets that way.

If I were to do it, I would roll the tail back and forth, and angle it up and down for pitch control. It looks like they
did a 'loop' or two in the video.
