Paper airplane toss record

I saw that on the evening news last night, it was awesome to watch if you've ever made a paper airplane. It flew straight during it's entire flight. Most all of the ones I have ever made go into an immediate climb after launch, then they go through a series of stalls while turning well away from their course, before their inevitable crash.

You should try some of mine. A properly balanced paper airplane flies straight and level. The designer of the airplane is a good friend, and holds a couple records himself.
 
Whoopee. Try it two times in a row......:rolleyes:

:needpics: Surely you have some pics of Origami airplanes to share.

Since you seem to know a thing or two about paper airplanes (;)) is there a website with the rules for that kind of stuff?

Forgive me, yours is a reasonable request and I haven't any photos handy. However, I have instructions in the PDF format that I've attached for one. Have fun folding. Won't win any records (too draggy) but it flies well. To make it out of normal sized copy paper, fold down about 1/8 the length, and then start with step one. Enjoy.

Oh great, just great, now about a million or more trees have to die just so a bunch of office workers across the nation have to spend the rest of the day seeing if your airplane works as well as you claim. :stirpot:

Those trees will have perished for a noble and worthy purpose.
 
This is the airport where I'm going to be a passenger for that advanced formation flying clinic and get to see my first formations! Thanks for posting, I love all the hugs and high fives. I watched it without sound though so I don't know why everyone is so excited.
