Master the record-breaking designs that fly over 200 feet with ease
Precise nose weighting, wing dihedral angles that maintain stability, and fuselage designs that minimize drag during sustained flight.
Toda explains the physics behind why certain configurations outperform others, connecting each fold to its aerodynamic purpose. You'll learn how subtle adjustments, a millimeter difference in wing positioning, slight variations in paper weight, dramatically affect flight characteristics. The book includes detailed diagrams showing exact fold sequences, plus troubleshooting guidance for common issues like premature stalls or unstable trajectories. Printed templates ensure accurate proportions, critical when distance depends on precise symmetry and balance.
Whether testing designs in gymnasium spaces or competing in organized events, you're working with models refined through thousands of test flights. Toda's record-breaking Suzanne design appears here alongside variations developed for different throwing styles and conditions, giving you proven templates rather than experimental concepts.
