How to fold the Sabertooth paper airplane. I "re-invented" this in 1984, but internet comments date it back to at least 1946. Lots of planes just 'look cool'. This one really flies! If you carefully follow the annotations (they don't appear on iPhone/iPad), you'll have the best flying paper airplane. It flies both rightside up and upside down, even outdoors. Throw upward at a 60 degree angle. The demo uses 8.5x11" letter paper. If you use A4 paper, cut the end by 25 mm so that the paper is 210x272 mm. Watch the Sabertooth fly at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h3cXhsbdTx4 . If you have a video of the Sabertooth in flight, please let me know and I'll link to it at the end!

P.S. You can see my old (Geocities) printable Sabertooth folding instructions at http://www.reocities.com/chouhung/saber.html and flying instructions at http://www.reocities.com/chouhung/sabertips.html

P.P.S. Profanities will be removed from the comments. Kids see this!

  • Thanks a lot for such detailed instructions: I'm totally useless when it comes to stuff like this and you video made me look totally cool in front of my kids :)

  • @srmariano Thanks! Glad it worked for you.

  • it doesent work i did everything you did and it did int work

  • @MrSamtherecordman Maybe it's the way you threw it? How does it fly? (straight down? turns over then crashes? Flies up and stalls?) Please try looking at the reocities link in this video description, or get a friend to try folding and throwing it. Good luck!

  • it doesnt work. i dont even know what i did wrong

  • @vaultboygilbert Did you follow the instructions about [A to B] < [C to D]? It's in the video annotations and doesn't show up on iPhone/iPad.
