Paper Airplanes
Most airplane modelists don't take making paper airplanes seriously. If you are serious airplane modelist you should not take it seriously too.
Last time I checked, making model airplanes was a hobby. It was fun. So why don't we leave all this seriousness and have some fun instead?
Don't be afraid to build paper airplanes if you wish to. They are easy to make, cheap (in fact almost free!) and even the kids can do them.
I was surprised when I saw how many people search the web with phrases like "How to make paper airplane" (I'll give you more info on that below), "What kind of paper airplanes are there" or "Paper airplane designs". What designs?! All the paper airplanes I had seen up to that time looked like this:
That's not a rocket science is it? (I agree it looks a bit like a rocket though). Umm, what is all the noise then about?
Let's see... The paper airplanes can look also like...
That looks different indeed. There are all kind of paper aircrafts. Not even only airplanes. What about a paper helicopter, glider or gyrodine?
I hope you no longer thing making paper aircrafts is a simple or boring hobby ;)
As I know you like the aircrafts above, I am sure you want to make one yourself. Is it easy or hard? First I planned to create a guide on how to make a paper airplane on this website. But there are so many guides already in the web. So instead of reinventing the wheel, I have researched for a couple of the best ones.
James Card has probably the best but quite extended tutorial on his website.
If you prefer shorter guides with pictures, check out how to make a paper airplane on this website.
If you prefer even quicker and more dynamic example, check out this 5 minutes video.
If you started feeling some excitement, it's a good time to tell you that aircraft modeling can be even more fun. People make airplanes not only from paper, but from meccas, plastic, metal, wood or who knows what else. Some of these toys can really fly, some are distantly controlled other fly with wind power...
Just keep browsing this site and you will find out about all of this.
