good one mine worked !! ... sadly there's no bishops lurking
the launch methhod recommended maybe cool where one wants a predictble glide path or for lecture theatre, how launching it from a grip on the trailing edge gets any trajectory after the fall starts generating lift
(wonder how it would go with a rolktating motion introduced to the launch ... probably something like the projectile fire from a rifled barrel [no time for that now])

The x-zylo seems to use compression lift, too, as well as gyro-stabilising. It's not as easy to make though...
