This is a great book on paper airplanes and some origami paper toys. It is mostly about airplanes and there is airplane after airplane on page after page. No matter what you want your airplane to do, glide for long distance, do tricks or just plain look cool, it is in this book. Unlike some other books on this subject it does not have any premarked papers secured to the inside of the book that you can rip out and fold. On the other hand, these planes use ordinary paper and have such good illustrations that you can make them without any premarked patterns on the paper. I love the book. I've folded most of the planes and flew them. It makes me a popular person at children get togethers and allows me to be a child again once in a while myself.The only thing that I don't like is that it has no theory of paper airplanes. If you fold one and it does not seem to be acting right then there is nothing in here that might teach you how to correct the problem. If you want to learn the aerodynamics involved in making a paper airplane act the way it does, how lift and drag affect the flight, etc, then this book is useless to you. But if you just want to follow the diagrams and make some great airplanes that are consistently fun, then this is your book.Just "plane" fun.
This book is one of the best paper airplane books I have seen that just gives instructions on how to make them out of NORMAL PAPER. No annoying colorful designs you can ONLY make 2 of, this has it all, from the normal dart, to the X-Wing. The first one in the book is called The Master. It's GREAT! My favorite at least. You can also learn to make ninja stars and frogs, helicopters, and a pac-man head. If you love paper planes, get this book!
I never knew paper airplanes could fly so well. Right from the start you'll be able to build simple planes that fly straight and far. The short paragraphs about each plane, in which the author sometimes explains how he discovered the design of the plane, are fun to read. The flying tips included with some designs are helpful. The only problem with the book, and the reason I didn't give it five stars, is that the diagrams and instructions for some designs are confusing. For example, I can't build the last plane even after spending about an hour and several sheets of paper on it. It would be really helpful to have actual photographs of some of the more complicated planes at certain steps in the building process. Regardless, for me the book was worth it after I built plane number one.
Very disappointing; was excited to try the many different original designs. However written instructions and diagrams are not clear at all, by far the weakest of the three books we got. My guess is that it is only for very experienced makers; not recommended for those without much familiarity with the principles of paper airplane construction (i.e. kids and their unsuspecting parents).
This book is an amazing book. It has every possible airplane design you could ever want. If you want a stunt plane, you got it. If you want a glider, you got it. If you want a plane to smack your sister in the forehead, you got it. This is the book for you! (cheesy smile here)
This is probably one of the greatest books I ever got as a gift growing up as a child. There are 40 different airplane instructions and 10 toy instructions. The airplanes truly are the highlight of this book. There are so many great airplanes and anyone (child or adult) could spend hours folding different airplanes and flying them through the air!My personal favorite is the "Long Distance Champ." This airplane flies forever (supposedly up to 150 feet! Although none of mine have flown that far - of course my living room is only about 30 feet wide). I also enjoy "The Hunter," "The Origami-Nose Box Plane," and "The Ram Jet."If you take care of kids I totally reccommend getting this book because it really is a great thing to pull out on a rainy day. The best thing about this book is every design only needs a normal sheet of white typing paper. You don't have to cut out pre-colored designs like many other airplane books.
This book is so much fun! My 6 year old son loves paper airplanes and I am - correction, WAS - terrible at making them. Then, voila, I am the coolest, paper airplane making mom in the world! I even impressed myself at how easy these are to make and how well they fly. What I especially love about this book is that it just uses regular printer paper to make, so we can decorate them, or lose them and it's not a big deal. Also, there is a wide range of technique, starting with a "standard" plane and getting into some tricky "inverted" folds. Love this so much!
We got this for my kids because they love making paper airplanes and wanted to have some new designs. The pictures are ok as well as the instructions. Not great for minds under 8. It is a good parent, child time activity as you will likely need to help them with the instructions. Some pretty cool designs for paper airplanes
