Advanced paperfolders looking for even greater challenges will find them
in this carefully illustrated book. Clear instructions and step-by-step
diagrams show how to construct origami aircraft that actually fly!
Sixteen models -- all made from square sheets of paper -- are fully
functional. The planes soar, landing gear retracts, cockpits open and
shut, and cannons swivel.
Experienced folders as well as enthusiastic beginners will enjoy
tackling the Bandit, Shadow, Firestorm, Thunderhead, Cyclone, and twelve
other sleek aircraft. A brief introduction provides valuable suggestions
about types of paper to use. Also included: directions for general
folding techniques and a table of folding symbols.
