John Collins, also known as ‘The Paper Airplane Guy,’ teaches us how to fold and fly our very own “Tube” paper airplane. The Tube doesn’t look like much, but it can certainly fly!

  1. One stunt you could try with this is making a big hoop with 2 pieces of paper and tape, getting a friend, make a paper airplane (even another hoop but with 1 piece of paper, and then see if you can make the smaller plane fly through the bigger hoop!

  2. Okay, so we have the “classical dart”, then the “phoenix”, which is about as easy, then the folding MONSTROSITY that is the “super canard”, and now a tube. Man, the surprises NEVER END here.
