Just imagine how much of my time is being wasted, repairing the vandalism exacted upon me by the marketing geniuses at iinet: does anybody know a good lawyer?
Because iinet banjaxed my website, the form for this paper bird is no longer available for readers of my book Playwiths, so here it is: now in two parts:
This needs a printed sheet, a rubber band, two pairs of
scissors and some sticky tape. Here is where you can get a PDF of the design
sheet: http://members.ozemail.com.au/~macinnis/scifun/paper_plane.pdf
OK, that's what the iinet marketing numpties threw out, now below is what readers would see in the book:
Follow the steps!
Fold the sheet down the centre line so that when you cut out
one half, the other half matches it. I used the big scissors to trim the sheet,
and the fine scissors to make the finer cuts.
The finished product.
The trick with cutting narrow inlets is to make several
cuts, so there are no tears in the paper. Then carefully fit the wings in as shown
here. You will need to tape a rubber band into the nose, before you bend the
tail out, then throw it gently. It will fly in a surprising way. Can you do
anything about this? Do you care, so long as it flies?
