1. A Halo Plane???

Well, It 's Saturday! How about a paper airplane shaped like an angel's halo?
This is a great looking different plane, so give it a whirl!
Be sure to check out the guy's website, so you can be the first on the block to order a full-sized version.
Happy Flying!

The Pizza Box Glider

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The Pizza Box Glider

Yes! It's Saturday!!! That means two things are likely. First, that you have more time to make a plane, and second, that you probably had pizza delivered last night.
I know it is stretching the limits of a "paper" airplane, but the concept is just too much fun to pass up!
As a bonus, chasing a pizza-scented airplane around the yard may just stimulate your appetite enough to finish the leftovers!
happy flying!

Alrighty then!! Who out there remembers Knight Rider? Ok, that was just an age check...Surely someone out there remembers Bay Watch??? Wow...I am getting old, I think. Well, for those fans that are still mobile enough, here is a plane with David's mug plastered on it. Interesting concept, and perhaps you can use photoshop to replace his with yours? Why not try it? It is the weekend, and anything goes!

Yup, you know what I mean. Those nasty little inserts in your favorite magazine that clutter the floor as they fly out and about.
Why not use them to make a toy? Here is a link to a page I just made, hope you enjoy making them! If you have any ideas for other flightworthy designs, let me know, and I will add them to the Master Airplane List!!

Fourth of July Weekend!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Fourth of July Weekend!!!

Yes! It is my nation's birthday, and a patriotic design is needed. This site has flash player in it, and it also has 6 different models.

What is neat about it, is that you can pick the colors to print on them, and one choice is of course a version of old glory.

So lean back, relax, fold a few nice planes, and reflect on the good ol'USA's history this weekend.

happy flying!

The Doldrums of Summer?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. The Doldrums of Summer?

Well, we are well into the summertime months. Around this time some people complain about the doldrums or boredom of summertime. Now that there are no more holidays until September, and it's getting hotter, they must think there is nothing worth doing!

Well, if you are one of THOSE kind of people, I hope this paper airplane with help bring you out of it!

Called the XT Nakamura, it is a variation of the nakamura lock, and is a neat plane. The website has an awesome video of how to make the plane, and as a plus there are a few more there on the page!

Now get off your couch, make a few planes and enjoy the weather!

WOW! where does the time go? I was just looking thru the newspaper ads, and they have school supplies on sale already?

Well, since summer is speeding by, here is a superfast airplane to enjoy the few remaining days of freedom. For those of you who don't get summer vacation anymore - perhaps you can use it to set a new worlds record for distance?

Either way, enjoy your summer and happy flying!

Hello again to the weekend!!! For those of you who have to work during the week, this is a great time! For those of you who have the summer off, it is merely just another wonderful day to relax, soak up some sun, and maybe swat a few pesky bugs that try to ruin your day.
Here is a link to a bug that may just make your day more fun though! A flying dragonfly, it is a nice twist on the traditional biplane. Perhaps if you make enough of them, they can run interference for you next time you lay out in the hammock!

Well, until next week, have a great time flying!!!

Some of you might have noticed that the Store has taken a new look. I have consolidated and upgraded the store to make shopping easier, and right now there are about 60 designs in it. There are historical flags, airplane photos, funny sayings, vintage aircraft markings, and of course, The Online Paper Airplane Museum Logo on a t-shirt.

This is the 21st Century, after all! If it is worth saying, it is worth being on a t-shirt!

If anyone wants a custom designed t-shirt or other item, just drop me a line, and I will gladly take it on for you!

Have a great summer!

Back To School!!!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Back To School!!!

Ok, it is the first week of school for children in sunny Florida. Anyone else start this early? I guess people must tire of having their kids underfoot in the hottest part of the summer, so they ship'em back to school early!

This week it is back to the drawing board. This plane is called The Worst Plane Ever.

Your challenge is to remake it into a better plane. You must use all the folds currently in the plan, but you can add whatever folds you feel you need to make it fly right.

Upload it into a website, and I will place it in the museum!

Have fun and try to keep this design flying!

Beware of Rays!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Beware of Rays!

Just back from a couple days vacation in Florida, and learned a valuable lesson. When wading in the water, you want to shuffle your feet - so that you don't step on a Ray! The Sting in their tail is PAINFUL, but if you do get stung, you need to soak your foot in hot water immediatly - it will greatly reduce the pain.

I couldn't find a paper airplane that is directly inspired by the Ray's streamlined shape, but the Upside Down Glider is an interestingly close design.

Have a great day flying!

How much does a Yen weigh?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. How much does a Yen weigh?

Hello Again!

Here is a nice website with ALOT of paper airplane designs. Unfortunatly, it is all in japanese, although I think everyone will be able to figure out how to make the planes.

The only difficult thing is the weight of the coins for these planes. You are supposed to tape/glue a 1-yen coin to the nose. Now for those of you who don't know, a 1-yen coin is made of aluminum! So it is very light, and we have no comparable coinage over here in the US of A.

So the only thing I can think of is to increase the size of the plane, to where the weight of a penny or a dime is the correct coinage to use. So make your way to Kinko's and expirement with different enlargments!

Have a great weekend!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Dover Diamondback

Here is a neat plane the taxed my origami skills to the max! It took me two tries to make a decent looking plane and alot of guesswork.

Test your skills on this one, but don't strain your brain! One of the things I can suggest - use a lighter weight sheet of paper, it will make the folds easier.

Have a great weekend, and don't forget to make a card for your Valentine!

2. Bad News....

For those of you planning on attending the Paper Airplane Contest I talked about.

Insurance considerations force the Library to conduct the contest inside, which eliminate the Distance and Duration contests.

So now there will be a Creativity and Accuracy contests inside the Library, same day, same time. Come on along and have some fun!

1. A Wright Kite?

I don't usually feature a kite in the first topic, but when it is THE kite created by the Wright Brothers, I will make an exception.

This is the kite they created to test their wing warping system of control. I made one a few years ago, and it is quite a learning experience. Takes a little longer than making a simple paper airplane, but give it a shot. Build a little piece of history!

Yup, only this one is air powered, like those soft foam rockets you buy at the stores. Only this one will cost ya a piece of paper and some glue.

Hmmmm...I wonder if anyone out there has access to a REALLY large printer and can make this rocket 3 feet tall or more?

If you can and do, send me some pics so I can post them!

Unusual Lifting Body Design
More Blimps?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Unusual Lifting Body Design

It's been years since I have experimented with a lifting body paper airplane. Almost a flying wing, the idea is that the shape of the body creates lift.

This link is to site that you can print off on cardstock a model of an actual lifting body airplane created by Barnaby Wainfan.

Called the Facetmobile, it is very unusual. You can make either a static display model or flying model, and I used 110 lb paper cardstock for this.

The flying technique is unusual as well, and will take some practice but it flies well!

Have a great weekend!
Uncle Dean

2. More Blimps?

Well, Kinda. This site proposes to recreate the era of the giant airships.

While not lighter than air, they have again, a lifting body shape to the gasbags. Very interesting ideas, check them out!

I made 2 copies of it, one on 65lb paper stock and one on 110lb paper stock. Both flew fine, but the 110lb flew a bit more like the original plane, more in a straight line. It is capable of being catapult launched as well, so make sure you have a rubber band handy!
