im good thanks

I like the design. Can it carry some decent payload?

See "Seagull" design. Its a very easy piece to craft and flys farther.

This plane is absolutely GORRGEOUS. Not only does it look like a super sick sci fi spacecraft, but it has the most beautifully smooth flight trajectory I've EVER seen in a paper airplane. This man is a genius.

I've been following these paper airplane videos to both amuse my kids and teach them about aerodynamics. Thank you for doing this! John Collins is easy to follow, fun to listen to, and the end result actually works great!

[@BurstKnocks]

My class is doing science in school, and we are learning about airplanes, so when I learnt how to make the Susan I taught it to one berson in my class and everybody else was like "WOW" can you teach me pleaaaaase. And now everyone in my class nows how to make the Susan, my teacher even explained to the class about the plane, and how the little folds at the back make it come back up. Thank you for your time

[@FalleonID]

Did I really just watched the whole thing? Wow, and tomorrow I have to wake up early

[@butgur]

I love that the sentences that you say are so weird that It is beautiful like make the fold kiss the other fold in this part of the video 9:50

[@butgur]

gonna need to put it back a bit

[@PACKERMAN2077]

If Brian Cranston played the guy who designed model airplanes in flight of the Phoenix but pretended to be a aerospace engineer so he wouldn't get left behind.

[@jvsky1140]

He resembles Walter White so much. I thought I was the only one who saw similarities

[@ThomasATorr]

Obviously a Burt Rutan trained engineer. Brilliant!

I used to use the waterbomb base as a kid and never even knew it! (Is it waterbomb? It sounds like he’s saying waterbong or waterbomb)

[@calummacfarlane8476]

I Used to have a book which had a design for an aeroplane with a cube you could fill with water at the front. It started like this, hence waterbomb base.

even if this didn't fly well it looks cool enough to make.

32:06 flying plane

[@jadianradiator2761]

Technically the thrust is actually a factor of your body, and _not_ the paper airplane. The closest factor of the airplane would be drag. But drag technically does nothing about thrust. You obviously meant "speed" and not "thrust". X thrust is the same strength regardless of how fast or slow you're actually going

[@isaacgamer6445]

No "thrust" is stating how hard you can throw it based on a bar

[@lenca.svejdova]

i love this guy.. he's so nice and funny

[@trevorbrown5048]

Helpful hint Set the speed of the vid slower to figure out how to fold
