Super fast paper plane launcher

Step 6 Finally making a plane (with template) and launching it!

Print out the template included below (it is best to print it at 100% by disabling the option "scale to fit page" when printing from Acrobat Reader). Fold it following the indications on the template itself and the pictures below. For use with the launcher it is useful to put some cellotape to hold the fold closed at the nose end. It also is a good idea to cut a piece of the nose as shown. The high launching speed often results in a buckled nose section, which makes it harder to launch another time. A nose cut a little shorter is les prone to that.

In the beginning, putting the device on a table is very practical. Put the plane in the guiding made by the two parallel piece of timber. To launch, push the switch to let the wheels spin up to the desired speed. While keeping the motors switched on, gently push the plane forward until its nose is caught by the spinning wheels and the plane is hurdled forward. Check the movie in the introduction.
