The Lightning Paper Airplane Flying Lesson
|
-
This plane is one of my own designs and is named in homage to magnificent P-38 Lightning fighter airplane of WWII in having twin fuselages see pictures here.
-
Throw underarm quite hard holding the nose between forefinger and thumb or even better throw very hard straight up in the air in a large hall.
-
If made slightly assymetrically this plane should gracefully loop down to earth in a wide circle and will stay aloft for a long time. This plane has many of the aspects common to world record beating paper aircraft. To learn more about the current record holder for flight duration visit Ken Blackburn's site and to learn more about world records visit the Paper Aircraft Association which are both linked from my Links page.
