No, this is the absolute greatest and easiest to make paper airplane, no really, try it!

Step 4Give it a slow to moderate throw!

the plane is complete, and flies very well at many speeds. Just throw, and let go right where you want it to fly (it goes in almost exactly straight flight paths. Watch the video to see how well it goes!
This is my first instructables, criticism and compliments welcome.

Out of all the Paper Airplanes i tried on this site, this is the best. the plane is consistent looks cool, the steps are easy, and the commenters on this board help alot. For physics we have to make a project (nt neccesarily a paper airplne) That travels 25 yards, and im thimking im going to get an A!

i added a few mods, made it look kinda like a fighter plane and it worked real nice, i did the mod mainly to make adjustments for rise or dives and spirals

if you put the cap end of a penn in the back sticking out a little bit then it works just like a great bomber

Dec 20, 2008. 8:13 PMCAMM says:

It doesn't glide to well but it rises better than any plane I've ever made.

I messed up like twice on this plane. but overall it works pretty well. I added staples to the back of the tail part to keep it from flipping in flight.
