Hi Folks - I just came across a great site for some very unusual, very clever paper airplanes that have real time airfoils and fly like full sized aircraft. The designs include canards, conventional and military types. I just purchased the "70 Planes for the Paper Pilot" book in a downloadable pdf format for $20, which includes three books totalling 70 designs - a real bargin. Check this out at http://www.thepaperpilot.com

Hello,
I bought/downloaded the books for my husband and he loves them ! You can actually make the plane and then fly it where you want it to go. I recommend this to anyone who wants to "make" some fun time.

How interesting that you both have never posted before, and both like 54 at the end of your callsigns....

Boy are you right. I showed my husband, who is very much into flight and planes and ect. He has had his nose buried in the "book "and there is hardly a scrap of paper in the house anymore. He and the cat have been playing "king kong" with the flying planes-----he can actually send them to the cat, instead of them just going every which way. Highly recommend the download (thepaperpilot.com).
