How to fly The Easy Glide

There you go. You have successfully made The Easy Glide.

The Easy Glide is of moderate difficulty to make. So if you have made it this far - WELL DONE!

Now lets get your Easy Glide sailing through the air AND try to create different ways to launch it also.

With your plane held half way along the fuselage throw with medium to full strength.

Making sound effects like a jet flying low altitude at medium speed (300 knots) above a runway helps make your flying experience more realistic.

How to fly The Inverter

There you go. You have successfully made the THE INVERTER.

This plane is of moderate difficulty so you did well to complete it.

With your plane held about 1/3 of the way from the front push the plane forward with reasonable pace to watch it glide effortlessly for some distance.

This way of flying your airplane is how the name was made. You will see what I mean as soon as you release The Inverter from your hand. The plane will fly forward before turning over and then continue flying upside down.

Try different throwing techniques - soft, moderate, hard, up and down.

Watch as your paper airplane responds to the different launching styles you use.

If you wish change the style in different ways. You may even create your very own style of paper plane.

In the meantime however have loads of fun flying your very own plane - The Inverter.


How to fly The Jetscreamer

There you go. You have successfully made your paper airplane.

The Jetscreamer is easy to make. In fact it's a cinch, it's so easy.

Now lets get your Jetscreamer screaming through the air AND try to break the sound barrier also.

With your plane held half way along the fuselage throw your jet with medium to full strength.

Making sound effects like a jet flying low altitude above a runway and then climbing to 15000 feet helps make your flying experience more realistic.

How to fly The Pace Jet

You are a hero. You have successfully made your paper airplane.

The Pace Jet is quite difficult to make. So if you have made it this far - WELL DONE.

Now lets get your Pace Jet paper airplane breaking speed records.

With your plane held half way along the fuselage throw your plane with medium to full strength.

Making sound effects like a jet flying an altitude of 5000 feet at full speed (Mach 1.8) will enhance your flying experience and possibly make your Pace Jet fly faster and longer

How to fly The Swoop

Airplane and Aircraft.com

There you go. You have successfully made your paper airplane.

This plane is of moderate difficulty so you did well to complete it.

Now here is a couple of ways to launch and enjoy flying The Swoop.

1/ With your plane held just in front of the cut gently push the plane forward to watch it glide effortlessly for some distance.

2/ This way of flying your paper airplane is how the name was made. You will see what I mean as soon as you release The Swoop from your hand. In my opinion the plane flies even better this way.

You are going to need some height here as the plane responds in a totally different manner.

Ready? Good.

Let's open the airplane up so that it is almost flat in appearance.

Place your pointing finger inside the fold and your thumb and third finger underneath. Now basically just release or let go of the plane in a downward motion.

The Swoop should just fall from your hand and then as it gathers speed will lift and then continue to fly in this manner.

I hope that you have had a lot of fun making and flying these incredible airplanes.

Perhaps now you are ready to progress to making your very first kite. Click here to learn how.
