Have actually made some of the planes out of very thin styrofoam and they fly pretty well... Now I just need to find a high enough building ! Thanks for the plans !

Good luck with the science fair, come back and let us know how it goes!

But of course I can't find anything on google. Please help me the science fair in May 1st and if I don't find anything I have to change my project!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I was a little guy, I participated in Paper Airplane Races. That was huge fun. Now I play with the Big Ones, that´s fun too. This kind of hobby is very nice for kids, and for us too.

We built it and were amazed at how it flew. My son is working on a science investigation project that will involve this design. Great design! We built it and were amazed at how it flew.

I'm not sure if the glue would stick well to a glossary surface though (but it would be easy for you to try it and find out). Basic modifications are simply warping the flying surfaces slightly to change how the plane flies. I describe that a little here: http://zovirl.com/2004/01/15/airplane-tuneup-and-flying/. You can also try adjusting the center of gravity by adding/removing weight from the nose of the plane. If you are talking about modifying the design, I would suggest that you try to track down a whitewings kit. The one I have came with a booklet with some tips on how to design planes from scratch, and how to alter the dimensions to get different results. Hi Art,

Can I use greeting card paper for construction? Also,could you suggest some modifications to change line of flight,time aloft etc?Thanks again!
