Paper Bird 1's wing span is exactly 10 inches.........it is downright puny next to my megatech merlin (40" wingspan)

Comrade_Boris,

What a great project! Several have attempted a bit plane, but they are usually converted from other plane kits and such and have huge wingspans (compared to yours). Never thought of using a paper plane. Don't think it'd hold up too well in a crash, but with something that simple, you could easily make another for practically free, once you had the idea perfected.

Keep working on that! I'm sure everyone would love to see some pictures or videos of it in action. In the meantime, can you explain what parts you are using? Does it have a working propeller, or does it just glide and steer with the steering magnets?

Make sure you get the wing shape right.... if you dont it wont fly at all. you could use balsa + plasic wrap for the wings actually.... it would be extremly light, but would take a very steady hand to cut the right shape for the balsa wood.
