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 1: Collect your paper

100_1089.jpg
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!

This was taken from the Klutz Book of top 10 paper planes. Thats where the decorative paper comes from. you can buy the book at most crafts shops (Michaels, etc.) This plane is called the hammer, and it is a dart plane. Klutz could actually sue you if you dont credit them.

does applying glue affects the length of flight?

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!

Step 5: Unfold the plane so that it is no longer folded in half. Fold the top of the plane down so that the crease in the middle of the top of the plane lines up with the crease on the bottom of the plane where you folded it in half. Then fold both sides, the left and right, not top and bottom so that the corners of the sides meet on the center crease. I hope this is easier to understand!

Step 5 needs a short video! I agree with myself!
hhhhhheeeeeeelllllppppp mmmmeeeee pppppllllleeeeeaaaaassssseeeee!!!!!
kaylaangelkisses in reply to knexinventions 49Jun 7, 2012. 2:15 PM
ok, so you un fold what you just folded. Then, that cut off point? you bend that down to the bottom

This plane is actually called the hammer. I found it in a paper airplane book.
flamekiller in reply to LightningMan302Sep 3, 2011. 1:00 PM
After all this, hopefully it doesn't fly like a hammer ...

Hey, did you take my pillow? Whats up? Hey my pillow!
neodymium says: Jan 11, 2012. 2:29 AM
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
Alex Mercer in reply to neodymiumApr 14, 2012. 9:33 AM
Eeew. I need some neodymium for my sci fair. Can u hand me some?

Go to http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Coolest-Paper-Glider-Ever/?ALLSTEPS

That's another type of glider.
mtelesha says: Apr 13, 2012. 9:13 AM
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.
Alex Mercer says: Mar 21, 2012. 6:19 AM
Is it an A4?
