The OmniWing Flying Wing Glider

The OmniWings are high performance paper airplane (glider). Constuction is with 8 1/2 x 11 paper, and a little transparent tape and cutting. See the Proto OmniWing, the OmniWing and the Advanced OmniWing. It is a distance champion, having won two consecutive paper airplane contests in the early 1970s. Up until now, I have been very careful in guarding the design and construction details of the OmniWing. Only a couple of trusted friends have ever had access to the design. But the secrecy is over. I do not want to go to my grave without passing on this exquisite design.
