Abstract
The disclosure relates to a flying toy which permits realistic control of a toy airplane, doll or the like wherein the toy is suspended from a sleeve or bearing through which pass a pair of filaments which are fixed together on a wall or the like at one end and are hand held at their other end. By moving apart the filaments and holding the filaments at a level below that at which they are attached to the wall, the toy can be made to travel uphill along the filaments. The forward nose of the toy may weighted whereby, upon the cessation of upward movement, the nose turns around due to the weight therein for subsequent downward travel along the filaments as they are again brought together. A second feature of the disclosure is the use of plastic monofilaments which display low friction and allow operation using a sleeve, tube or wire loop and makes the use of rollers or pulleys unnecessary.
