Just a tip: I know these are simple folds, but for instructional videos it’s super helpful to use paper that has only one coloured side, or at least a different color on the other side, to differentiate between sides and more easily see the folds you are making :)
@@iandominicsenobin6041 Sorry you were having trouble with it. I'm glad I'm not alone though. I'm 1:37 into the video but I've probably spend 20 minutes trying to figure wtf he is doing. 🤬
Seriously. And maybe stop jumping to three different camera angles in the middle of a step. Or using yellow graphics over yellow paper to illustrate a line.
I agree. The top view is good for instruction but the front or side view are not useful and causing confusion because you don't get the smooth continuity of the action@@frankzbeanz4200
*A person who took Paper Airplanes seriously as a career* : Folding airplanes preciously *Camera Man* :Showing how good he is at camera by tilting and changing angles *Us* (literally nothing to say)
I just finished the first Boomerang Plane. I flew it. And the only thing that came back to me was my belief that I did something wrong. It flew like a regular paper plane, but smoother.
Mahir Cave .. hey bro.. I watched one of ur plane making videos .. it was amazing .. but it was so heavy in the front, it couldn't fly much like in the video
I just wanted to shout out to the editor of this video: I know you're getting roasted here in the comments section, people saying it's too hard to follow, etc. As a professional video editor myself, I just wanted to voice my opinion that you did a great job. You kept the pace of the video alive and in my opinion the cuts were made in places that made a lot of sense. I followed the instructions for all of the planes in this video (except for the Tumbling Wing) and I didn't find them hard to follow at all. I did have to pause the video a couple times, which is to be expected for an instructional video of this type. But I honestly think that all the people who are complaining about it being too hard to follow just suck at paperfolding. I've folded origami since I was at most five years old, so I understood the terms and techniques he was using and I didn't even really need to look at the video that much; I mostly just relied on his voice and only looked up at the video when he was referencing a specific corner or crease. You probably don't need me to tell you, but you didn't do a poor job editing this video. I think it's simply a case of target audience mismatch: an experienced paperfolder like me can follow along no problem, but the normies of RUclips struggle. Thank you and the rest of your team for a great video!
Jesse Garrard glad you have been folding paper all your life. Not everyone has, and the camera shifts are confusing, because as soon as the camera shifts, most find themselves having to find their place again, and by that time he’s three steps ahead, along with 14 more camera changes ahead. I’m sure the camera man is a great guy, but there were many other ways they could have done this. Maybe even a split screen with both angles.
Good to know you feel far superior because the “Normies” could not follow and you did. That’s exactly the problem know your freaking audience. It shows not only that whoever cut the video sucks at editing, it also show that you also suck at it, that on top of being a douchebag. I tried to folllow the video with my 10 year old, as a fun thing to do together and we both ended up quitting at the first plain after rewinding many times. Don’t blame the people for not keeping up, they should have made it so people can keep up or indicate the target audience as part of the title.
Sorry, Rayen -- check the description box -- we posted a link to our website, where we've posted printable instructions -- they should make it easier to follow along! Thanks for watching and commenting
I have had more fun than anything with the final plane in this vid. My grandsons squeals of delight during a good flight will go to the Big Barbecue with me. And there are four more to learn . Many many thanks
The paper is so bright I can hardly tell what is even going on half the time >_< Also, the camera angles constantly change which is making it harder to follow along...
Inverno, we've got instructions for the planes on our website -- there's a link in the description box. Check them out and try again! Thanks for watching
Inverno If he shows you everything on RUclips then who is going to buy his book about making airplanes for which he has invested lot of time and resources?
Why is a 64 year old semiretired aircraft / aerospace engineer watching this wonderful video ? --> I was bored . Time for a beer and make some airplanes . Thanx for your video . Rockwell International .
maestro awesome the 3 step paper airplane was always a terrible design to begin with. The awkward large squarish wings and look, along with barely any counterweight towards the front. It never flew very good anyway. Obviously this is the nxt step in its fascinating evolution
1) Fold it in half; 2) Get confused about what to do next; 3) Give up and admit you suck at life. ;-; lol jk, but as much as the 3 step airplane was my only airplane during most of my childhood, as soon as I learned what was basically a more basic version of the Susane airplane, I pretty much never used the 3 steps one again.

I learn that John Collin looks like John Goodman the actor, only the Paper Airplane man is slimmer and younger. Thanks for the instructions. It's never too old to be young.
I’ve got a funky origami plane of my original design that I call the F-23 because it vaguely resembles the YF-23 Black Widow. It’s not a phenomenal flier or anything, but it’s cool looking. I also have another one deceptively named Victory. It’s a complex plane with long broad low set wings and a tail and winglets and elevators. If built properly it can fly well, but it’s incredibly temperamental and also has a high chance of not flying particularly well. That said it’s fairly quick and likes to glide off high places with a gentle launch sometimes at a slight downward angle. And then of course you have your classic Flying needle which is an exercise in what happens when you throw a thin heavy thing really hard. It was my first. It’s a joke plane that everybody makes at least once. It’ll put your eye out if you stand in front of it.
That's 'simple', 10 years experience with origami, plus another many years dedicated on air paper planes! No shortcuts hey? Well maybe with a good tutorial, and in his words.. voilá! Here is one. :)
note that A4 paper has a different size, which means that if you follow these instructions precisely, you'll have your plane's center of mass off and you'll need to adjust it
The first boomerang plane is not an easy one, but I used to do quite a lot of origami when I was a little younger. I only stopped because eventually I got to the point that, if I wanted to progress further, I'd have to start making my own origami paper, because the size of the square I would need to learn most projects that were harder than what I knew was way bigger than what was readily available, and it still had to be thin and strong. But, I have made the first boomerang plane featured here quite a few times, using different versions of tutorials: diagrams, gifs, videos of varying qualities. This video is a bit harder of a tutorial to use because of how quickly he moves through it, and as a result, this requires a lot of pausing and backtracking. But it's not impossible. Keep practicing. Trust me when I say, this plane does come back. I've done this one several times (even though it's not one of my favorite models, and it's still a little irritating for me), and the boomerang 2 is very similar. That's the one I'm currently working on.
i've never stopped a video so many times.
3 video minutes= 30 real life minutes.

The camera cuts make this really hard to follow :-(
I was thinking the same thing. We want to see how to make the planes not his face
