For anyone interested in paper airplanes, this thing is AWESOME!
I like to make all kinds of paper airplanes with my kiddos. We will spend hours some days exploring different sites like this. First, my oldest will pick a design he wants me to fold, I fold it, and give him the maiden throw. Then I pick a plane I like, fold it, and give it its maiden throw. Then we repeat.
Kind of on the difficult side to make, but this one has a very impressive hang time! And it’s durable too.
And work the wings till they were nice and loose. Cut slits in the back of the wings about 3/4" deep. Kinda makes it look like feathers. I’d work those loose too.
Now here’s the trick. Take 1 or 2 pennies and stuff them in the nose. If I made the lip big enough I’d just stapled them in, but tape works too. And then you have to throw it a pretty hard; distance is key, but it will flap it’s wings like a bird when you throw it.
This one also works pretty great. Same kind of throw, almost straight up in the air. It has a pretty impressive hang time too. It is the world record airplane after all… haha
