A tethered flying toy adapted to maintain and be maneuvered in flight in a prevailing wind comprising: a main body member; means forming a rudder surface at the lower end of said main body member; tiller means extending outwardly from said main body member near its upper end and terminating at two outer ends located on opposite sides of and forwardly from said body member; flexible bridle means attached to each of said outer ends of said tiller means and to said lower end of said body member; rotating wing means having aerodynamically lifting surfaces rotatably attached to the upper end of said main body member above said tiller means; whereby when control lines attached to said bridle means are used to hold said rotating wing means transverse to the direction of a prevailing wind, said wing means will rotate and produce aerodynamic lift.
