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.

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).
