    Just made it and was surprised at how well it flew compared to the others I've made in the past (i.e. in the 5th grade). Good to know how it all works.
    Also shocked and amazed there is a person who specializes in making airplanes.

    Thanks for the reminder. I'll get to the video hopefully for next week

    Smart. and I love how it starts to go down and then starts to glide up.

    I learnt how to make this paper plane about 30 years ago. I still use the same design when making paper planes for my children.

    I make it a little different and if u do a hybrid between it and the plane he makes to set the world record, it will have the wings of it the plane showcased in this video but the body of the record holder. That flies really good and needs minimal tweaking.

    When you make these ones with light paper, they just hang there in the air really slowly and fun for kids.

    I have to say, good explanation, but those test flights really stunk and I think I know why! It took me a few hours yesterday to figure it out. I thought for sure John Collins of all people would know the secret tweak. I'll reveal it on my channel next week.

    Fun fact: RAT is a real system in real planes, usually commercial airliners. It's used when the engines fail, or a problem happens with the electricity fails. When activated, a propeller about the size of a small Cessnas propeller comes down from bellow the planes fuselage, and gets rotated by the wind. Think of it as a windmill, it spins and gives electricity to operate electrical the components in the plane.

  • @jaredralphstanley
    @jaredralphstanley 12 років тому +1

    this is the only plane i know how to make.
    fyi i fold the wings out adjacent to the top of the RAT fold so the handle you hold is the same height all the way across the length, making for a wider wing surface which = more lift...

    A bit of tape in the center ? Is that recommended? Back in my childhood, our dad would tape it together, at the center. His argument being, to keep the frame from vibrations, in flight.

    • @xyzzy7xg
      @xyzzy7xg 8 років тому

      Sorry for the late response, but no tape needed.

  • @faiz434
    @faiz434 12 років тому

    Haha I always make this plane when I was young, except mine has a pointy front. And to increase stability and help it fly straight, I fold about 0.5-1cm of each side of the wing from one end to the other end to 90 degrees. I found that out by coincidence since I'm trying to make it look more badass haha. It will help stabilize your plane even if it doesn't fly straight in the first place. Well most of the time, if done right.

    RAT = Right About There. Another real technical term used in aircraft design and repair is: TLAR = That Looks About Right!
