Using your Zing Sky Gliderz is super easy. First, make sure the launch arm is up. Then, loop the elastic around the launch hook on the plane and pull the tab downward. When you're ready, release the tab and quickly flick your wrist so your thumb points up. This will send your Sky Gliderz soaring over 36 metres, doing loops and glides. As for maintenance, keep the plane away from sharp objects to avoid tearing the soft - foam. After each play, check the elastic and the launcher for any signs of wear. If there are any problems, replace the parts if needed. When not in use, store your Sky Gliderz in a cool, dry place. And always be careful when using the launcher, especially around others, to avoid any accidental hits.
