Related to origami, paper airplanes originated from China and are toys devised entirely out of paper and adhesives (sometimes glue or tape) that utilize an aerodynamic shape to lift and soar. Idiot's Guides: Paper Airplanes features 20 of the coolest designs-- and offers easy-to-understand, step-by-step instructions. This book includes:
- Step-by-step easy-to-understand illustrated folding instructions, including the level of cutting/folding difficulty, flight pattern, and durability levels to the corresponding airplanes.
- 20 symmetric models, ranging in difficulty levels, which are illustrated within the colorful guide.
- 80 sheets of eye-catching, pre-designed printed 8.5x11 paper for readers to practice with and create planes.
- Cool backgrounds that highlight each of the airplane projects. Nick Robinson has been folding paper since the early '80s and has been a member of the British Origami Society for over 30 years. He has contributed articles and designs for the society's magazine in almost every issue since 1987 and has served on their council for over 20 years. In 2004, he was awarded the Sidney French Medal, the highest award the society can offer, in recognition of his outstanding contribution to origami. In addition, he was recently made an honorary member of the society. Nick has written and illustrated over 60 origami books (making him by some margin the most published origami author in England), with total worldwide sales into the millions.
