Paper Airplane Glider

Paper Airplane Glider
I recently was messing around with a few simple paper airplane designs and having my dog chase them and destroying them :o, to eventually stumble upon a glider which flies smoothly over a long distance.


The build time is approx. 10 min or less :)

i made something similar on time exept mine was much smaller and was made to split so that the first one luanched the smaller one problem is i cant remember how to make it and it flew out the schools window the reason i cant remember how to make it is cuz : 1. that was a year ago 2. ive had that song B.Y.O.B. (by System Of A Down) stuck in my head for months and 3. i really dont have time to think about it cuz im to busy with my girl,my hundreds of airsoft projects ( literaly hundreds) ,and fixing my swords ( i buy them and fix them if they need it) and srry if it seems like im being an a$$ cuz im not trying to be

okokokokok this thing is very cool because it looks good and it flys good. nice done. i got a paper airplane that has a sharp point, f-16 wings and spins around while its flying. i like the spinning of it because thats not normal. but this thing dont spins, dont falls out of the sky, dont turns or some and fly nice. i think i will give you like...hmmm... yeah i think its 4.5*s

some of the instructions are not clear. PLEASE elaborate!

Dude, this design is amazing. I just built this and it flies great. I found out that it was a little unstable and would nose-dive shortly after being thrown. I took some scissors and cut four slits on the back to make two stabilizers and now i can easily throw the plane thirty feet and longer without much effort at all. thanks and great tutorial! P.S. I think your video is broken. :D

no problem, I love the design and will defiantly make another next time we have a substitute teacher at school :D
