7/16/2007: Nathan Has Completed "Paper Planes"

This was a fun task that took a while to download the pictures off my camera, but a fun one at that. I took a sample of 5 different planes that I found the design for at Alex's Paper Planes. I laid down a tape measure down the hall and let the best design win. I will let the pictures speak for themselves.

This is all the planes laid out from right to left of how they were flown.


#1: Amanda's Special

12'3"


#2: The Classic Dart

15'8.5"


#3: Origami Paper Airplane 3

13'9"


#4: Second Origami Plane

15'3.5"


#5: Flying Fish

17"


As you can see the Flying Fish out flew the competition. I might suggest that each of you try to go to the site and fly your own creation and try some of the designs on the site to see if yours can outlast the best.

7/16/2007: Nathan Accepts "Paper Planes"

Sorry for the Late post, but I had the In-Laws in from out of town and the little wife was watching me like a hawk. I will have this task done and posted by tonight if that is cool. Sorry for the inconvenience, but like I said the wife was watching me like a hawk and life would be rough if anything happened to ruin the weekend.

This will be an easy one since there are like only a million different types of planes to make out of paper. I will fly them on my lunch break and post after I get back from lunch.

Make different model paper airplanes and fly them for distance records.
Requirements: You will need to make different model paper airplanes and record their distance. I don't know how many different models there are but try to get a good variety and plenty of pictures or recordings. Let us know which ones fly best and which ones are useless.
