After testing "The Champ" and "The Arrow" paper airplanes, we flew two custom designs from the Ten Paper Airplanes website,
as well as a plane called "The Dart".
Custom design paper airplanes from the TenPaperAirplanes.com website. Paper Airplane #5 was one of our worst fliers. Custom design #6 did much better. Paperclip were added to give the planes more weight and hopefully help them fly farther.
Flew an average distance of 49 inches.
Flew an average distance of 172 inches.
"The Dart" paper airplane designed looked good, but only managed to fly an average of 10 inches. This was our worst flier.
