great, my aricraft is works! with my own throwing trick..
i throw the plane from down to up. so my hand grab on the middle of the plane, and the plane heading up. throw it 10 degrees to front.. and it will be looping back to you... actually i didn't watch the video... :D

Maybe you guys should try adjusting the ailerons to bank sharper. That will make it come 360.

I don't exactly have the room to do this, but from what I can see, is that is thrown correctly, it will return back you you! I have managed to make it to curve.

You really don't know a lot about paper airplanes , do you? If given the correct ailerons and strength of thrwo , and practise , almost any plane can be made to circle around and ... come back !!!!! I've seen this plane before , and it is called the 'Headhunter' . I presume that he has done something (like put ailerons o it , hmmm....) but it is normally well known for going very very straight at quite a fast speed.

I know know I make headhunters all the time. It looks like one but it's made differently.
