    long lost flying toy from 90's
    Help me find this "launch weighty ring; try to catch ring; try not to catch unconsciousness!" toy bought in the early '90s.

    I had this toy when I was a kid; I have no idea what it is called or even if it is still being manufactured.

    It's comprised of a heavy ring, with squared edges and a cone-shaped windsock-like flag attached, being launched by an inverted-V-shaped device with some type of handle at each terminal end. You grab the handles and pull them away from each other and the ring goes zoom. The windsock slows the ring enough so that you or your partner may catch the ring with the launcher and start the process all over.

    It's more amusing and works better in a small space than Frisbees, and I'd really like to find one again! My Google-fu is weak, and standing in the toy aisle in Fred Meyer's trying to "feel its presence" was equally unsuccessful.


    p.s. it's not a zoom ball or a Giant Maple Flyer, Zyclone, X-ZYLO this is an 90's toy it looked exactly like a windsock but was launched with a wedge style rod
