The New World Champion Paper Airplane Book: Featuring the World Record-Breaking Design, with Tear-Out Planes to Fold and Fly by John M. Collins - Paperback

Great item and shipped very quickly

Hard but good

The paper the book is printed on is so low quality that it’s hard to read the text. What good is a book if you can’t read it.

Vários modelos de aviões de papel. No final do livro, inclui papel A4 estampado para construir alguns modelos

I think it's a perfect gift for a grampa. Paper planes are Great and cheap way to connect with the nephews . Also those design are amazing. Seriously.

An amazing package. Really surprised with the quality of paper and the contents. Worth to have in the library of kids who are interested in flights and flying objects, a real gem explaining the basics of aerodynamics. Provides the following contents. a. Aerodynamics of paper Planes. b. Throwing and adjusting of paper Planes. c. Basics of folding of paper. d. History of paper Planes and the author history, his fascinating story with paper folding. e. Detailed explanation of 2 dozen types of paper Planes, the method to fold and flights. f. And the last but not the least rather the most exciting part of the book - paper tearout planes to fold and fly. An absolute buy for kids to develop the sense of aerodynamics and flights.

This is one of two "must have" paper airplane books that are out there for serious folders. I have collected almost every paper airplane book in or out of print that I could find in the last few years as I discovered that paperflight was a great way to combine two of my hobbies: paragliding and origami. So being the obsessive that I am for these sorts of things, I started rounding up every book on the subject and I discovered that there are really just two books that I couldn't do without: this book and LaFosse's "Planes for Brains." Inside this book you will find all of Mr. Collins' most useful and elegant models with a few exceptions that can be found in his first book, "The Gliding Flight." The "Suzanne" model which was used to set the distance world record referenced in the title of the book is really the most elegant and impressive plane model around. It is simple enough that anyone over 6 or 7 could fold it, but it just goes and goes. Forgoing the tape and using nose or fuselage locks makes for a go-to plane in any situation. Two others not to miss in this book which were included in earlier books of his are the "Starfighter" and the "Boomerang." Both are great, especially the latter. With some practice at both folding and flying, the Boomerang is too much fun. And how Collins ever figured out how to fold this plane is a mystery as its folds are rather non-intuitive, however it is definitely worth learning. There seems to be some dissatisfaction regarding this book in that the models are too complex. They are complex, but they are not the most complex around. They are, however, the most accomplished around. The models in the LaFosse book mentioned above are really beautiful and have their own genius to the folding (they are even more complex), but they do not perform as well as Collins' planes do. If you are looking for a rudimentary paper airplane book, I would recommend the Klutz book as it is simple, but has some useful ideas for kids to explore with. Hope that helps.

息子が学校のサイエンス授業で、紙飛行機が何故飛ぶのか、などについて学んでいると言うので購入。この本には、色々な飛び方をする紙飛行機の作り方が載っていて（長い距離を飛ぶもの、速いスピードで飛ぶもの、など）また、それらが、どうしてそう飛ぶのか理論的に解説されています。「今まで、たかが紙飛行機などと思い生きてきてしまい、すいませんでした」、という気持ちになります。感動します。
