Final Paper Airplane Design

The Buzz

Use a bit of tape to keep this design from popping open in mid-flight. You can make small bends to the large triangular ailerons at the rear of the airplane to adjust it for level flight. Experiment with throwing hard and gently to see what works best for you.
