Flying wing, fastest

P16 NASP

All wing, no fuselage. Twin tails give just enough yaw stability. Cuts the air like a dart.

Construction template

Print the P16.

The smallest head-on profile of the six. No fuselage means faster and higher flights — though who knows where it will end up. Needs gentle flap inputs.

One letter-size sheet. The template area is about 4.25″ × 5.5″ — half a sheet. Print at 100%, with shrink-to-fit off.

Before you start

What you'll need

• Basic 8.5in × 11in printer paper. The designs fly great on regular paper, but 32lb/ream stock holds its shape better in flight, giving higher and more exciting flights.
• A pair of scissors sharp and small enough to make precise cuts.
• Clear adhesive tape.
• A paper clip — the planes are designed around #1 size clips, 3.2cm × 0.8cm.
• Optionally a straight edge or ruler, if you don't trust your folds.

Template instructions

How to use it

1. Cut out the rectangular template. Leave the dashed-line cuts for later.
2. The template is about 4.25in × 5.5in — half a sheet of letter paper. Print at 100%, with shrink-to-fit turned off, so it comes out at the right size.
3. Once you're comfortable with the design, you can skip the template and just cut regular printer paper in half.
4. The printed fold lines should be very close to perfect, but if you have to choose, always choose symmetry of the plane over following the printed lines.
