Paper Airplane: The Advanced Model

If the Classic Paper Airplane is just too simple for you, this Advanced Model should liven things up -- more complicated to fold, but should fly really well!

Tally Ho, Chocks Away and what-have-you. This is the VideoJug Flight School...

There's no feeling quite like the immense sense of satisfaction from a paper aeroplane well made, so we've teamed up with the Royal Aeronautical Society to find out how to make the very best planes.


The video explains in nice slow detail exactly how to make a rather trendy advanced version of the classic dart. Requires a bit more skill to make, but the plane should float all the better if you get it right.

There's a perfect centre of gravity on this one, and as long as the nose isn't too heavy it should sail well.

Is the extra man-hours it takes to make a worthy investment over the Classic Dart, do you think? Or is it all just a big waste of time when the Classic Dart is such a simple aerodynamic design?
