Regular copy paper actually works really well, as you can make it go far and still come back.The WordSmith from Nantuckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937868119894243815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605121.post-1163654571272573262006-11-15T21:22:00.000-08:002006-11-15T21:22:00.000-08:00It's credited in the video at the end.

Diagrams with John Andrisan's modifications can be found at the <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/foldingca/pop.html" REL="nofollow">POP website</A>. You can find the glider there as well. Takes practice to throw it. If you're right-handed, slightly curve the rear elevator of the right wing upward. The amount that you blunt the tip affects the weight. In Arnstein's diagram, I think he has it shown as having the tip go past the bottom layer; but lately, I've been folding it about a centimeter shy of the edge of the bottom layer; so a bit longer body, shorter head.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the visit and the comment.The WordSmith from Nantuckethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15937868119894243815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17605121.post-1163634764872908712006-11-15T15:52:00.000-08:002006-11-15T15:52:00.000-08:00Very well done!

That and the boomerang glider piqued my interest the most. Thanks again for putting the video together. It looks like everyone was having a great time!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
