The worlds best paper airplane. The world length record is 102 feet!
this plane is ultimately my favorite paper airplane. its cool, fast, and far flying.Try throwing it off a jungle gym at your nearest park. Just bear in mind that you might not see it again. also this plane is perfect to fit in any pocket comfortably!

Step 1Collect your paper

collect your paper
on this plane you can use any paper that is 8 1/2 x 11 inches, i like that thin decorative paper its cool and pretty. but your ordinary printer paper will work fine. all you need is a piece of paper, No tape, No scissors, No paper clips, just paper!

you took this right from the klutz book of paper air planes. and you are not explaining it nearly as well as the book did.

you also got the paper from the pocket in the back of the book. when you make an instructable that was copied from somewhere else, make sure you tell us at least.

btw, its called the hammer

Best one yet! I have made about 20 different paper airplanes and this one by far goes the longest. Actually I don't know how far it goes. It always hits the wall in whatever room I am in.

if your paper airplane is unbalanced on the sides due to inaccurate folding, put a paperclip on the side, but close to the flap you hold when you throw it. If it nosedives or stalls, then put flaps on the back and angle. hope this helps!
