"Paper Airplanes. We have showed you a quick way to make a good one. And, now I'm going to talk to you about why paper airplanes. Why would an adult choose to make one of these? Or a kid, when you're in school or in class obviously you're always keeping attention on the board, the professor or the teacher. Some kids to spit wads. Some kids will take pens and make things that shoot out. Some sort of shooting device. Some sort of throwing device. And, paper balls. It's fairly simple. But, for someone who is looking for something a little more challenging thing a paper airplane is a really good waste paper. And, to fill your time when you're not paying attention to the teacher. Next important thing to remember is paper selection. If you're in school, lined loose leaf paper works fine. Printer paper like this works fine. But, for the best flying ability thicker paper like this, like construction paper or magazine paper. You can rip out a sheet, kind of glossy or slick paper works really well. The weight, for some reason, the heaviness of the paper when you fold it makes it fly a little better than this. I don't know why that is. If this is all you have, then use that. But, this works well to make a good sharp creased good looking plane."
