Miss Flyer the best use of a misprint! It can turn an ordenairy paper into an extra ordaniary paper plane with only one swipe! 😮

Entirely made from one single sheet of lasercutted plywood.

KRO-NCRV, Klaas vindt uit (Dutch TV) seemed to like it, so they wanted to show it to everyone 😃 here is a to the video: (click on image) Klaas vindt uit video

Bill Of Material:

Quantity Description Dimentions
1 Sheet of plywood 5mm 830x650mm
1 Fishing rod or other thin wire 40cm
1 Binder clip 20mm(smaller=better)
1 Rubber 20x10mm

Instructions:

  1. Assemble subassembly 1: Step 1

  2. Assemble subassembly 2: Step 2

  3. Glue slider together: Step 3

  4. Insert slider and add endstops: Step 4

  5. Assemble rest: Step 5

  6. Cutout wood between holes so wire can sit flush and slider can still slide: Step 6

NOW HAVE FUN!!


Changelog:

  • Version 1: Genesis
  • Version 2: Changed gap from 5mm to 3mm, changed distance between step 1 and 2 from 120 mm to 140 mm
  • Version 3: Zohar & me made the second version but this raised some issues. changed gap back to 5mm again cause the paper kept ripping. changed the cutouts to 4.95mm so it's more of a friction fit.

Future development:

  • Write building Instructions
  • Better performance
  • Engraving
  • No need for glue
  • More paper plane designs
  • Have a paper plane war at the office!
