Tips
Use heavy weight paper; allow students to personalize their plane with markers, crayons, stickers
Follow the guides in the template ⇒ it is important the airplane is folded symmetrical
Practice first without the motors - and adjust; add motors after students have had a successful flight without a motor
Have the wings slightly lower the the middle (less than 90°) and elevators angled up
