No video on this yet - OK ! I was a little harsh on the worst paper airplane it is reasonable but I altered the design myself to create this plane, it looks the same but it flies so much better.

Improved Paper Airplane Flying

This plane needs to be thrown overarm, almost level with the ground very gently. You could also try throwing it as hard as you can up in the air. It will flutter and fall quite a way but then it will fly very quickly in a wide arc quite unexpectedly.
