Skyaak Model 3 is the most advanced Skyaak ring wing glider unit to date.

The Model 3 is shipped in a flat package partly pre-assembled, featuring a weighted shaft and the proprietary ‘flat manufactured‘ ring wings that you can construct without stinky glue!

That is thanks to the innovative slot and tab design.

Here’s what some of the folks who have tossed a Skyaak Model 3 around with their friends have to say about their Skyaak experience:

“Just received my new skyaak, great invention. Very cool the way Skyaak seems to glide throught the air. Assembly was simple, shipping was fast and the product is a blast to use. I would definitley recommend this product.”

Daniel Cimera

“Because I am a writer, I get to appear on national TV and radio every once in a while. Last month I did an interview with Radio Canada about Adventures from the Technology Underground. Fairly often, people contact me with questions and comments afterwards.

A Canadian inventor named Michael Robert Gaudet came up with something called the Skyaak, which is something you toss around to your buddies for fun. He sent me a couple after hearing me on the radio and I have to say, they are incredibly cool. It’s sort of like a pole shaped frisbee. There are two conical surfaces on either side of a plastic pole. The conical surfaces act as wings and provide interesting aerodynamic properties to the thing as a whole.

I took one to the gym last night and threw it around between basketball games. It was a hit! I’ve not met Mr. Gaudet and have no financial interest in his product, but I do think it’s very neat. I think it has more cachet than your regular old frisbee. Google skyaak if you’re interested.

About the video:

“Here’s a little bit of night flight with my new Skyaak Model 3 with the light kit. Flight is great, but more than that, this thing looks great at night and was surprisingly easy to catch (especially for people that had never thrown a Skyaak before). “
