Free-flight aircraft are usually hand launched, release them and they are away. Set them up correctly and they should glide quite a distance in a series of swoops and then drop gently to earth. If you hit a wall you will have to buy another! However they are a bit of a challenge to build and set up - a lot of the fun is in the making. Master it and the skill acquired is priceless.

West Wings F117A Stealth Fighter kit (WW06)
The West Wings Stealth Fighter captures all the design features of the original, yet with
little modification to the overall shape, still provides excellent flying characteristics.
In fact, the only obvious design departure is the adoption of a little dihedral.
Our Stealth Fighter is built flat on the plan from a mixture of formers (cut from printed sheets) and balsa strip. The main fuselage/centre section is in one piece with the outer wing panels being 'butt' joined to it. The finished model then has a large effective wing area with a basically, flat-bottomed wing section.
As a glider it is amazingly efficient and has a very shallow glide ratio. Even on the towline, she remains stable and really looks the part. Details are given on the plan for a clip on 'rubber power' conversion, which provides true one-man flying from flat fields. Just unclip it and you've got a glider again. The choice just adds to the flying flexibility.
