folding airplanes :)

Quick recap of what I am actually doing ~

My experiment will answer the question:
'How does size of paper used to make paper airplanes affect their flight.'

I will be testing the following types of paper aeroplanes:

So now I have followed the instructions on the site above and have folded the airplanes I will be using.
Of course, I will fold each multiple times since I will be repeating the experiment countless times.. *cough* *cough*, nah, just kidding.. I will.

Btw, this site has cool animations, just thought I'd show you guys an example:























Here's a pic of my airplanes I made & I will be using. Obviously 'The Dart' could use some refinement.













I tried flying them and in my opinion the arrow has the smoothest and fastest flight. Although, the stealth is meant to be the fastest of them... oh well, must be some human error in that.

awesome looking plane launcher.

Today, I decided I was going to paint a design on my airplane launcher. I used the design of a t-shirt that one of my favourite youtube blogger, Mychonny designed!!

And here is my lame attempt at art.. I know, many details are lacking & I ran outta white paint towards the end;
Took me sooo long to do, so, hope you like it!!

things that make you go "grrrrrr..."

Grrrrr ... someone is doing an almost identical experiment as me. I mean look at it this way, im sure identical twins such as these guys:
















would not like to be compared but be individuals in their own right.
Just had to get that off my chest.. laters gee!

ok so first thing first, my experiment has been given the all clear! yippppe! So yesterday, i went to Bunnings, and bought my materials for my plane launcher.















plank of craft wood, a daisy for decoration, and PVA glue :)

following my trip to Bunnings, i went to the fantastical Royal Easter Show; saw the cows, pigs, horses, rides, showbags.. blah, blah, blah, but the highlight was that I won this pig! *oink* *oink*
