Summaries and Customer Reviews are supplied by Amazon.com They loop, they circle back, they flap their wings and spin, they tumble, they soar, and, of course, they glide. In his best-selling book, THE GLIDING FLIGHT, award-winning paper airplane designer John M. Collins introduced us to the craft of paper airplane folding. In THE GLIDING FLIGHT 2, the much-anticipated sequel, Collins reveals the next generation of fold-and-fly fun. He explains how to craft 25 new and amazing flying machines—like the Looper, the BAT plane, and the Manta Ray—using just single sheets of paper. Featuring a wide range of paper airplanes, from simple designs suitable for young children to more complex planes that, believe it or not, you can keep aloft indefinitely, THE GLIDING FLIGHT II presents clear, step-by-step folding instructions for an activity the whole family can enjoy. Definitely worth getting | Customer Rating: | I've had The Gliding Flight since I was young, so when I found out that the author had a second book of paper airplanes, I bought it immediately.
Fantastic Flight doesn't quite contain as many consistently unique and quality planes of The Gliding Flight, it makes up for it with its stellar planes, my favorite being the Super Canard, which never fails to wow with its looks and its flight.
Definitely worth buying. | A Whole Bunch of Fun for Kids from Two to Ninety-Two | Customer Rating: | Do you have any idea how much fun paper airplanes are? How much fun they can be? Sure, everybody knows how to make your basic paper rocket. I take my nephew Devon to OMSI (Oregon Museum of Science and Industry) all the time, because I have a good friend who works there and we get in for free. They have this exhibit where kids make paper airplanes and toss them into a wind machine to see how well they fly. I have always failed miserably at this.
Not Anymore.
Devon and I took this book along with us on our last outing to OMSI. Of course, we'd practiced with a lot of the planes in the book. When we got there we weren't only pros, we were ringers. We really impressed the folks.
And we had a lot of fun doing it.
This is a book that cries out to be used and abused with a child. Mine already shows signs of wear as it's made many of the kids on my block happy and made me sort of the local paper rocket mama. My grandad's even made a plane or two (or three or four) from this book. He particularly likes the Looper. Devon's fave is the Dart and I sort of lean to Phoenix Lock, lotta steps in that one, but it's pretty doggone neat.
If you've got a kid in your life between the ages of two to ninety-two, then this is the book for you.
Oh yes, you might also want to check out John Collins first paper airplane book The Gliding Flight, too.
