Slater Harrison introduces his latest design from phone book paper, straw sliver and transparent tape. This design can be flown using only hands as demonstrated by Slater in this video. The glider design was inspired by Michael Thompson's jagwing designs and Slater's own plans can be found here:

@MrMiko99 Are you successful at flying the origami hang glider design with a piece of card board? If not, the glider may not be trimmed properly.

@TheJohnBiscuit I've updated the description of this video to include Slater's own directions at sciencetoymaker. An easier paper airplane might be the Indoor Paper Airplane Surfer at instructables. Glad the tumblewing is working for you.

This glider is one of the more difficult to build, trim and fly. Have you tried the tumblewing?
