The oddest looking paper plane...

Yay! I remember doing these at school during a computer studies class - and it was the teacher that showed us how to do them. They are possibly the graetest paper planes ever - bar the ones I used to soak in lighter fuel before flight (this is dangerous - do not try at home. try it at someone elses house instead ).
I've made one of these out of a huge piece of paper - it flew for ages as I recall!

Ooh, these certainly are great. We have paper aeroplane competitions to relieve the boredom of double Maths, so I'll try this out.

I am so glad to know that i'm not the only one who makes these darn planes. Everytime I made one people looked at me like I was deranged...untill I flew it for them. Then they looked at me as though I was deranged but clever.

Well, I thought I'd have a go at one of these. I was a bit skeptical because my practical skills aren't the best, so my paper aeroplanes never work. However, I've been pleasantly surprised. It took me a few tries to work out how to make it fly, but once its going it keeps on going nice and smooth all the way.
Also if you don't push it, but just let it go, then it turns and dives really sharply then turns again and flies level.
Funktacular

Paper planes in double maths sounds familiar! We thankfully have higher ceilings than any other classrooms. Coincidence... I don't think so. Whats more is our teachers are about as present as schrodinger's cat
