Throw away the straws, paper clips and tape.
Okay, now take your 8.5 x 11 inch paper and fold one of the corners over to meet the opposite edge. You need to start off with a square piece of paper – it must be square. Rip off or cut off the excess paper so you have a square piece. Okay now roll over one of the corners continuously at a width of about 1/8 inch with each fold. Fold until 1/2 of the square is done. Form a circle with the folded leading edge of the paper by tucking the ends together, so it looks like you have a hat. Basically, it’s a ring with a bit of a tail. Man oh man, do these thing go far. Grip the ring at the bottom with the tail portion down and flick your wrist in a forward motion. Once you learn how to make these, no other paper plane works as good. Happy flying!
* Why 35 ft ? is this the distance of the building beside your building?
why not more than 35 ft ?
* there are events/competitions of paper airplanes, search them in the web. The world champion, could fly a paper airplane that can go tens of ft and aloft for tens of seconds (could be few minutes)
* their L/D (Lift to Drag) ratio are so high, the airplane took a long time gliding before it finally touches the ground. They’re so amazing. Even the aerodynamic experts of big airplane makers also participated.
* It looks like the pros are using materials other than paper, lighter yet sturdy as a piece paper. Looks like they dont use paper clips, since they are heavy (compared to the whole aircraft). Tapes also creates small bulges, probably the pros dont use tapes, tapes could cost them tens of feet of decreased gliding range.
