:P yay just completed it.stages 18 and 19 was hard but it did it. but all that effort and all im left with is a paper aeroplane. At least my little brother is happy with it :D

^ haha, glad to see its not impossible.

I can imagine the feeling after you spent an hour trying to make it... I do shit like that all the time!

Interesting, I'm going to try this later, thanks for the link.

[dutchmasterflex]

oh man.. just made this piece of shit.

It took me a good 20 mins.. like daggernite said steps 18 and 19 are the trickiest to figure out what the hell he does..

Personally I'm a big fan of the paper F14, it's not the greatest flier, but hell, it sure looks cool :-D (and what paper airplane couldn't look cool with working swing-wings?)

I've got the recipe for it somewhere and I'll see if I can post it in the next few days, I've made it so many times it's all memorized at this point, so that's not very helpful for JW.

haha tht looks nothing like the F14 :P :prr:

lol...ok, there's a book by Thay Yang that has this and a variety of other aircraft in it, ranging from the Concorde to the F14 to the F117 Stealth Fighter. It's quite a good book and while none of the designs is going to win any airtime contests, they are amazingly realistic pieces that require no cutting of paper in most cases. I highly recommend the book.
