Toss the shuttle by the lower handle. If it climbs and stalls, lower the elevator. If it dives, raise the elevator. If it spirals, curl the vertical stabilizer in the opposite direction of the spin. Most importantly, have fun!

Btw, did you want an origami-ish one or a micro-sized cutout version of one?

the poodleo 12 years ago

well, it would be hard to make an origami versoin, but if you can figure it out, it would be really cool.

The Tomahawk is similar in layout to the Hawkeye. You are welcome to develop off of it should you choose to. :)

Thanks! I'll make sure to visit the Tomohawk instructable if I work on a micro version of the Hawkeye.
