Glider engine eject question was created by SnowLion
I just bought an Edmonds CiCI glider for my grandson. As I read the instructions, they stated that the engine needs to be ejected for the thing to glide. Surprise! Do I need to figure out how to get a streamer on the engine or is it OK to just kick it out? The glider takes A-B-C 18mm engines.

Thanks for any info.

The good news about your average 18mm motor is that the casing (paper) and nozzle (clay) are biodegradable. After it gets wet the casing glue releases and the whole thing unravels.
