  • im 10 i managed to make it although i had the tail isnt so good but it does a U turn

  • @adiboo16 Awesome... don't worry, you will master the tail with practice!

  • Xplanes4u: I just built my second SOA. The US AirForce just pulled up in my driveway wanting to know what high speed aircrafts were being launched from my front law. But seriously, I early 20 something kids next door just got a hard on for your plane. The example I made had too much lift, it would do a big loop. So I gave it some wing rudders about 1 inch. Then that thing would fly about 200 feet in a straight line. Had a bunch of fun in the last 5 minutes.

  • Cool... I love a great flight!

    Try throwing it with your forefinger behind the fuselage while lightly holding the nose with your thumb and middle finger. When you throw follow through with the forefinger like a Navy carrier catapult! Thanks for the comment!

  • hey, ive been on that website but when i click on a template they dont show? havent you done them or id it my computer :) this plane is good.. YOUR AWESOME

  • Hmmm... I've been hearing about problems with Macs but I thought it was resolved. In any case, check back later, I think you'll like the templates! Thanks for the comment!

  • cool! i made one and its AWSOME! im subscribing to your channle you rock!

  • I haven't had time to go outside and play. But I have my origional SOA on my desk and flew it in the house this last rainy weekend. It's certainly the best paper airplane in existance. I've been messing with plans since I was a kid. If I had this plane back then, I'd be a jet fighter pilot right now, well a retired jet fighter pilot.
