Design 2: Make this helicopter with ONLY PAPER – no glue or clips or anything…
June 21st, 2008 by ricko
Continuing with my posts about paper spinners, here’s another aerodynamic gem.
Who knows who first came up with the idea of a paper helicopter. There are many variations, and the person in this video shows one great design that works beautifully. (His name is Raul Ordóñez a Spanish blogger and photographer and an all-round generous guy).

By the way – I will get back to writing about pop-up-cards soon. In the meantime, if you want to make other things with paper then click here for a few ideas.

The great thing about the above video is how Raul manages to find a strong updraft outside his apartment window. The helicopter soars high in the air and is soon gone. Some people have said, ‘Oh it must be faked’. But there are no tricks involved. Your paper spinner can soar too – all you need is a pretty hot day or an upward breeze, or both. Just let it go!
P.S – remember – be careful with heights.
