The Verdict: Origami Airplanes

At the end, I really enjoyed making unique paper airplanes from Fly Origami Fly. I made a couple more during my spare time and it looked pretty good. But one day I felt very confident and decided to make one of the hardest paper airplanes to make in the book and let's just say it wasn't pretty.
From what I noticed, each plane in the book has a meaning towards the culture of Japan. It's a unique way for the authors to show it. For an example, one of designs were called the "Balloon Rabbit" and it's a popular model in Japan. In conclusion, the authors really wanted you to make your own paper airplane design and it worked. I have new ideas in my head on how to design my own type of airplane now.

Do you like doing things your own way or following directions? Which and why?

    I like to follow directions and have a good base guide line. But how do you get the perfect fold in Origami?

    The tips and tricks were really helpful in the book. I wouldn't say I got the perfect fold in Origami but it was close. Having a ruler while making the paper airplane helped a lot.
