Personally I'm a big fan of the paper F14, it's not the greatest flier, but hell, it sure looks cool (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.

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.

Amazon Amazon
