Plenty of Paper Planes

The always entertaining Paper Forest web site has some great, detailed, printable paper airplanes. We were out a Lake Balboa yesterday and, along with the remote controlled sailing boats mentioned in a previous post, we were able to watch some people flying gliders and other "people-powered" airplanes.

These look to have everything needed for a great rainy day project for kids young and old.

Plenty of Paper Planes

This website showcases over 60 different and simple paper plane designs. Designs include fighter planes, antique planes, and even the concorde and space shuttles. The designs are intended to be weighted on the front end with Yen, but there are alternate methods listed on the site. The pdfs are easy to find by clicking on your choice of plane. You'll also get plenty of information on the planes you select. Once you are done creating your personal fleet, there is even a paper airplane launcher you can download and create to see them really take off.
