Paper Airplane Flight Around Corridors

An indoor paper airplane walkalong glider is flown down several corridors. A sheet of clear plastic manipulated by the pilot creates a wave of rising air under the paper airplane which both sustains and controls its flight. For more information on how the glider is made please see:

i watched the tutorial in the discription and when i tried it the paper was to heavy. if you try it use isssue paper or a really light paper. otherwise, it wont work

@mill5979 Yes, heavier paper will fly faster and require a larger paddle to fly with.
