Stunt Plane

Well, this is my first instructable, hope you like it.

I have searched on Instructables, and I'm pretty sure this plane is not in.

This is a very unpredictable plane. I have done many things with it, including:

Gliding across my school's indoor hall (around 50 metres)
Returning like a boomerang.
Returning not like a boomerang.
Going in the opposite direction of throw...

You get what I mean.

Step 1 Materials, and the starting folds

You just need an 'A' size paper. A4 is prefered. I didn't have any paer lying around, so I used last year's science revision test.

The first few folds are to create a (in Origami terms) "waterbomb base". You can see its construction in the next few steps.

my favorite paper airplane of all time!

[zvillesurfer]

one time for a science project we had to design a way to keep a piece of paper in the air for more that 5 seconds. i did it successfully with this plane.

i made something like this that was called a bulldog. if you held it by the frone and pushed down so it would flip it would snap and start flying. great instructable and 5 stars but next time look for a macro setting on your camera. its meant for taking pictures under 20 centimeters away, so for instance the flaps picture would have been crystel. 5 stars reguardless

I think I did it wrong, but still pretty cool. I found a way to make it fly about five feet then it goes up- side- down and flies backward then goes between my legs, lol.

I know what you mean about it being unpredictable. it flew around and it me in the face :-( great plane though :-)

[inubaka]

lol i got why you covered your name and your schools name but i laughed when i saw your score,

[jdudeisdaman]

Yo. all these people saying they have the best paper airplanes are retarded. im an actual pilot...small planes...and i decided to go for the guinness book of world records by making a 50 ft long and 65 ft wingspan PAPER airplane. check it out in the 07 record book. its awesome

[freewheeler]

nice.vertical surface area is less than on most planes,so wind doesn't affect it much..

[xegghead15]

its gd

[Oli4]

easy to make and flying pretty good. Good job.

[pmac93]

Hey, i made this and it was just flying straight.........boring. Then i gave it to my dog for like 3 sec. and now it does all kinds of stunts! nice instructable

[randName]

Coo. I wish I had a dog now. 5 sec is enough though.

[punksurfer]

I make my a little diffrent i cut flaps in the tail of the wing.

[punksurfer]

Dude this plane is sweet i have been making it for years thow.

[Madass2]

lol that is a pretty good way of using a science test xD

[SeaLion]

hey prony, i made some tweeks to urs on my instructables...it glides better with a wider 'wing' surface... btw...does it say 75 as the mark? :O thats pretty good for biology/science!

[randName]

No it is not 75. It is 12 out of 12, but it is only for primary school science! What do you mean by "wider"?

[SeaLion]

like u know...wider 'wing span'...those things...
mayb shud make an instructable of a plane that's aerofoiled shape...hence it should fly very well...=/ dunno...have to research and design and develop this idea...*patents*...ahahaha its mine! lmao...nah every1 can make an instructable on it...credit me if u nicked the idea off this little 'comment reply' :P

[bigpinecone]

i have been making this for soooooooooo long!!!

[SurferGeek]

Cool I guess... Been making the same paper plane since I was 6.

[m4ttj00]

I learned this from a friend when I was in 3rd grade. I fold my wings down, though.

[Cybernoir]

LOL you copy my plane on Metacafe...

Nice try ;-)

[randName]

Well, I didn't, actually. Your plane is quite different from mine, and you didn't post it on instructables. I copied it from a CD-rom titled "Paper Planes". And it can not only come back to you. Once, I threw it at my friend. He dodged it, but it returned and hit him at the back of the head! Give comments on how it flies too, please.

[robot]

yeah! it's very easy to do this, and it's simpe cool

[wertokz]

I like it. The instructions are easy to folow but i got a bit stuck at the handle. i think i got it right tho
