Series Summary

At some point in time in every man's life, the desire to fly becomes so overwhelming that they will stop at nothing to make that happen...in some form or fashion. For the Wright brothers, their dream of flying became very true, some have flown through space, but, for the poor and tired masses, most boys just make paper airplanes. Paper airplanes gives mankind enough of a taste of flying that our heightened desire to fly is satiated just enough for us to grow out of it and take our place in the dreamless workforce like we're supposed to.

In this free video series, watch as expert craftsman Mike Muller teaches you how to make the perfect paper airplane. He discusses which type of paper you should use, then takes you step-by-step through each fold in making the plane. Don't give up on your dream of being an aviator, whether you are 4 or 40, these instructional tutorials are sure to be just the thing you need.

Video Transcript

"This is the perfect airplane. A series of folds, and it's not shaped like a traditional paper airplane like you would think with a point and big wings. It's more flat, which gives it a good stable balance when the wind passes over the wings. There are many types o different airplanes you can make, but this is the one that I like to make. It flies really nice, and it's fairly quickly to make too. A little complexity in the folds. The last fold is making the two wings. That is the finished product."
