What he hadn't counted on was the fact that, with nothing to put his front feet on, he'd not remain "upright" but wind up DIVING headfirst! Frantic, he twisted and flipped his body, wings flapping madly, till he got himself more or less leveled off and could properly spread his wings at the same time. The wind caught under them and . . . gliding! He was GLIDING! Maybe this would work after all!]
