Gliding vs Non-gliding



    I think that, at least, we've to compare _Icarosaurus_ or _Longisquama insignis_ to modern (co-)relatives, like the "flying dragon"(_Draco volans_), a reptile with some sort of membrane beside his chest that allows him to glide. Not that we cannot take mammals, for instance, but it would be better taking reptiles to compare to extinct reptiles.
