Hey look, finally a good use for political signs!

@fredtheredshirt I guess you're technically correct, but the whole concept is very different from typical paper airplane flights that are all momentum and glide. This paper airplane flies using ridge lift just as real hang gliders do. So I thought about how I introduce people to something new, and this is what I came up with. You could also say it's not pure origami, what with cuts and tape.

@vonmark12 It's best to use paper with as little weight as possible. But it has to be rigid enough the hold shape. So I find telephone book paper works best.
Soon I will have instructions for thin sliced foam gliders that weigh even less than paper. They fly veeeerrrry slowly.
