James D'Argo Are you freaking serious ???????

[@martypagano]

I folded this. Threw it out the 11th floor of my office building and it flew for about 30 seconds before hitting teh ground. It was pretty amazing.

[@gun123456zak]

Threw this thing from 12th floor window, flew for a couple of seconds then fell nose down to the ground like rocket. Even heard it when it hit the ground. Damn thing could've killed someone. Too heavy on the nose I guess.

[@asandwich4666]

Pyramid Head what you had there was a rocket that has no fuel, and tone that looks like a paper airplane. It was upside down, so the pilots were at the tip, so that made it front heavy. The part of it hitting the ground was the bodies being smushed by the stuff that was inside.

[@kacperkozowski4601]

Pyramid Head fold the back of wings symetrically little bit up using flat place (table) and it will fly better

[@tea_man8858]

10/10 would use this folding method again. Even without being as precise, the plane you make will probably fly very effectively. Mine did. 😊

[@snakepliskin3530]

This is the only other design that I have found to fly better than my trusty lock blunt dart design. If I had my notes with me I would comment the specs. After years of folding a basic Blunt Dart I found the best wing angle for maximum AOA. I'm wanting to say the wings rear fold should have 20-22mm of straight edge. I can't recall exactly but I do have the wing angle written down somewheres. BTW I love your Phoneix design although moderately difficult to fold it is a very good design for kids that have not developed good throwing technique. My niece is not so good at throwing other designs but the Phoenix does well for her.

[@charleszhang4413]

Hi John collins

[@darinadam6401]

Awesome! Thank you!! I know this is an old post but anyway, still comment. I just got a 357 ft flight, laser measured out of this design with a little wiggle on a couple folds. FULL DISCLOSURE... outdoor flight, farm field, summer 90 degrees, no wind, but A LOT of updraft due to summer sun heating the earth, ETC. Next experimenting with paper color to see if anything changes.

[@ThePaperAirplaneGuy]

Fantastic! The flight won't pass Guinness muster, but that's really good!

[@superpizzalivn6339]

[@msy6864]

Thx I folded my own. I realized that it does a dive down whenever I throw it but I found out a way to tackle this by slightly folding the wing upwards and not throw too hardly. It glides pretty well. And fun fact if u slightly fold the wing downwards the plane will make a u turn and glide upside down

[@catraz.7521]

Yeah I kept fixing it upward and threw it gently and it glide really well

[@shanesutton4874]

I you add lift it works really well. Physics is an amazing thing. : )

[@dreggory82]

There is an unusually high number of messed up comments on this video. I am grateful for this video, the plane flies great. In fact, I've ditched my "old faithful" design for this one.

Man I wish this kind of info was around 15 years ago. Some of my greatest childhood memories was making paper airplanes with my little brother and standing on the top of the staircase and throwing them down across the house into the christmas tree. Our home is 2 stories and our living room spans a third the house, the staircase spans a third the house, and then 2 walk ways (one on bottom of stairs and other on top of stairs) is 1/6 the house. So we literally had a perfect incline to throw full across the house. The goal was to try and get it stuck as high up in the 12ft christmas tree as possible. Man i miss those days

[@matthewlewers4239]

Me and my mom used to do that 😊
