Created a world Superflat in creative. Took an Elytra, an Anvil and an Unbreaking III book. Renamed and Enchanted the Elytra, and I could use it as usual.
I wonder if both of you are aware that a jump mid-air is required to glide.

i wasn't aware . my bad.
Elytras works perfectly. thanks boyz

Thanks, I didn't know. Now I can use elytra again!
Thanks,

Not confirmed for 1.9 pre3... You need to jump while in the air to deploy Elytra wings now. A quick search on the bugtracker would have shown plenty of people have posted this before without knowing that Mojang tweaked them.
