Insane Plane
Make a paper plane inspired by the best flyers in NZ’s native air force - the birds! Ironman uses jet boosters, but our manu do it using nothing but their wings – reckon you can do the same?

1. BONZA INSPIRATION
Before you pilot your nature-inspired super glider, watch the trailer to the bonza Aussie film Paper Planes (featuring Kiwi actor Julian Dennison from Hunt for the Wilderpeople)
2. FOLD & FLY!!!
Find some cool paper and fold your own paper plane. For instructions and ideas check out some of the awesome paper planes you can put together at www.foldnfly.com
3. GO JUMBO OR GO MICRO
How big can you make a plane that still manages to fly? And how small? Use Google to search for some inspiration from the birds flying in NZ skies ...
4. BREAK THE RECORDS
Challenge your mates to see whose plane flies the farthest (like a godwit), flies the highest (toroa), flies the fastest (falcon/kārearea), or is the smallest (titipounamu/rifleman)
5. BLING WINGS
Build your own squadron of 4 or 5 planes, then let your art skills take flight by decorating them.
Get inspired by the feather patterns of NZ's manu (bird) air force … kea and kākā parrots have some serious bling under their wings!
6. ARTY FARTY FLYER
Imagine your own colour scheme and decorations. Just remember that adding weight to those wings may impact their aerodynamics
