Flying Napkin Paper Airplane Flying Lesson


This plane in the simple form without the cut or rolling around a pencil was shown to me by Shaun Wilde
in an email. It is best thrown overarm with the heavy end first.
It can be made to spin like a stunt plane. When the plane is cut in half you make one of the curled up
sides more strongly bent than the other. This will give different drag on either side and cause the plane to
spin.
