   Floating Paper Airplane Video Folding Instructions
   Floating paper airplane Flying Lesson
  • This paper airplane is best indoors. It is quite stable but any major wind outdoors causes it to crash very quickly.
  • Try throwing this plane very gently overarm with the nose pointed slightly upwards holding it about a quarter of its length from the nose. In still conditions outdoors or indoors this will let it glide gently for quite a long time and distance.
  • If you make a flap at the back of one of the wings by snipping the paper twice for about 1cm (1/2") into the wing and making the two snips and inch (2cm) apart and then folding the paper inbetween the snips up, the paper airplane should gently glide in a circle back to you. Whether the circle is clockwise or anti-clockwise depends on which wing you place the flap (or aerlon).
