zurqui.com — "It glided like no paper airplane I have ever seen before, it was acting like a REAL airplane. It gently curved into the slight breeze and began to rise vertically without moving forward. The craft then began to lower as if it were a helicopter and gently came to rest on the asphalt below. "

Well I must have done it wrong. It looks just like the one in the diagram but it flys like crap I guess I will have to try it again.

This thing is great. I can't wait to get a big sheet of poster board and make a bigger one.

Got it to glide quite well, but i messed up the tail so it moves slightly to the right.

Built mine just fine (steps 17-18 were easy for me, don't know why everyone's failing at it), unfortunately it curves to the left and nose-dives a lot. After about 40 reconfigurations I got it working right, but it only lasted one flight before going haywire again. Oh well, I guess I should try it again later.

Nice. No need for tail either.

I saw this website about a year and a half ago, but I never thought of posting it on digg.
