Today was cold and virtually no wind but I found an empty car park to test fly those paper planes without getting my feet wet or muddy. Big thanks to my wife for putting up with the cold whilst filming me. Obviously I have edited out the really bad flights but this session probably took the best part of an hour to film and she was freezing trying to stand still and follow the flights. The text from the original build video is pasted down below and the link is here https://youtu.be/AOP_3TswNsg Pham Bill asked "could make a paper airplane that flies 20m by throwing" so I have made a couple. One from very lightweight paper and one from thin card. The plan is to fly them outdoors as I don't have 20 meters indoors to test them. The lightweight one may struggle if there is any wind so the heavier one may do better. I checked they fly OK in my kitchen and I will put them in the back of my car so I can fly them next time I go somewhere with more space. I have several other projects waiting for the right weather to fly them so I can upload the videos.
