Hey John! If you can teach how to make plane which comes back to you. Wanna gift it to my son.
My guidance counselor never told me this was an option 😡😡
Yo, my middle school class had a paper airplane throwing contest on one of the closing days before summer. I copied his design and won so thank you.
cool!
This is perfect. I’ve always loved paper airplanes ❤
Bro spent 10 years learning origami before he used it for his airplanes interest… Legend, to say the least.
I have one-sheet, 8″x11″ paper planes that can Match his, but, due to a Rotator-cuff injury, can’t match the length of toss. I also incorporate a true Airfoil into my wing-shapes, something he accidentally does. I abide also to the 1″ of Scotch-tape rule.
Watching paper planes in flight never ceases to amaze
Super cool C tu vraiment un papier 8 1/2 par 11 pouces, quel épaisseur juste la couleur a une différence . Juste pour essayé avec mon petit fils, mais si c voué déjà a l’échec.
FINALLY I FOUND THE VIDEO IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR!!!
The Decline of the West
Tried. Myself and viju made one which flew very nicely .
Mr Finesse! 😽👌❤ Bravo!
My dad made really good paper airplanes, but nothing like this! 👌
Threw a dozen off these off the 30 th floor balcony off a Hilton hotel, they flew out of sight, do I get a record
I don’t this guy but I love him
If you tried to talk to this guy and act like you knew something about planes he would school you in a heartbeat
He didn’t design the plane that set the record. I’ve been folding that plane since I was a child in the mid 70’s. I was taught by a Chinese friend of mine. This is only the 3rd time I’ve seen someone else fold this plane design.
I love his paper plane tie 😁
I’ve first made the plane he calls “Susane” back in second grade when a Russian kid showed me how to make it. So this plane in not a unique build. It’s been around for ever.
