So there's this origami jet-fighter that I like making for friends that<br>
looks pretty cool. It only barely flies, but usually I draw all over the<br>
final result and it makes up for it's weaksauce aerodynamics with it's<br>
sharp looks.<br>
<br>
I thought today I'd hack its size!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
You can make your own by following these instructions. Like all origami<br>
instructions, there's one step that's super confusing. If you have any<br>
trouble with Step 14 send me a note and I can show you how in a bunch of<br>
photos.<br>
Also note: the original design calls for A4 european paper - the end<br>
result of using 8.5x11 is that the tail's a bit stubbier and the wings are<br>
a bit narrower... if you're patient you can cut your paper to Euro<br>
proportions before you begin but it's not really necessary.<br>
<br>

So - my first test on some newsprint (a Metro) turned out a bit floppy,<br>
so I ran down to the university bookstore and bought some cool black<br>
bristol board.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It cost me $1.35 because I was too lazy to go to the Dollar store around<br>
the corner. :)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The first few folds were easy, and I used a handy plastic object to<br>
flatten down the edges. (They shut off the AC early in the summer... I<br>
always have an extra deodorant in my cupboard)<br>
It already looks like a stealth bomber. :) DONE! :)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Subsequent folds were getting stiffer. Here parts of the plane are<br>
6-sheets deep and I've switched to a new tool, a PHP reference book. :)<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Okay, now parts of the plane are 12 sheets deep, and I'm having a<br>
challenging time folding - I take out my BIG PHP book and start hammering<br>
down edges. If I were at home, this is the point I'd bring out wood clamps.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The last few folds are fairly straightforward, but it's really difficult<br>
to get the rounding out of the corners - I found some binder clips that I'm<br>
using to hold the seams until I can really clamp it down later with a vise.<br>
<br>
<br>
*Lessons learned:*<br>
It would have been really helpful to pre-score the sheet - the plane<br>
gets so thick that it feels like bending a phone book. :) I'll run my next<br>
one over with a ruler and a scoring tool.<br>
Definitely need some clamps at certain stages to make it behave. I'm<br>
going to try making a wooden rig for clamping down between steps.<br>
A sheet of bristol board doesn't really feel that big once it's folded<br>
down. I had hoped it would be more impressive. Time to call a printing<br>
company to see if I can get a HUGE ream of paper! The final result is<br>
almost 2 feet long, so it's definitely a huge paper plane... I just had<br>
visions of leaping out the window with it and gliding to Rio. ;) Not<br>
today...<br>
It mysteriously smells like the underarms of an ocean surfer. :) Or at<br>
least a PHP developer who surfs the web. :)<br>
