F16-FIGHTING FALCON (Fold and Fly)..GIF images.
Please wait to Download !

This is the step-by-step instruction diagram, and pattern
 on creating a replica of F16-Falcon from a simple sheet 
of  paper. It is a part of my book; 
"The Paper Air Machines".

You can use  "Paint Shop Pro", or other program to
print this file. Make sure that the aspect ratio  of 
1:1.28 is maintained to avoid the distortion of the 
pattern. (I recommend 7.00 x 8.96 in.) I don't advise to 
use your Browser for printing these files. You will have
a cleaner and better resolution if you save it and use 
your own printing utilities.

The patterns in the book are two sided. I copied both
sides separately, but I'm sure it is still easy to fold it 
with front side only, as long as you follow the drawing
instructions. 

Folding the nose of the airplane is a little confusing, but if you will look closer on step 21 of the diagram, you will notice that each of the two arrows are pointing to the front and to the back of the drawing (or to both sides of the airplane). It means that you will fold the paper on line - N, "flip inside out". To copy the GIF file, Just click it with your right hand mouse button, drag and save it to your files. There are four files to copy in this page. I apologize for the resolution of the drawing. (Or my friend's scanner) :=) Have fun flying !

Remember ! These
Paper Air planes
are Unique, The only
kind in the world. It
can compete with
distance. I am very
confident to say; "The
only Paper Airplane
that don't stall" (Of
course some models
do.) You don't even
need any extra nose
weight. Unless you are
competing for distance.
There is a special place
to put a small paper
clip under the nose and
not visible from the
outside.

Page three-
Pattern, side one.



The unique ability of
these paper models
are when you throw it
straight, and hard. It
gains altitude instead
of having the nose
pointed upwards, and
make a stall. More
altitude means more
distance.

Throwing technique
is easy, Just throw hard
like you are targeting
something with a dart,
and let the plane itself
maintain or gain it's
altitude.

Page four-
Pattern, side two.






Stability is another
uniqueness of these
models. Not a unique
technology, but thanks
to the shape of the real
airplane. The underside
is flat, The wings are
below the Fuselage,
and rudder. Have
you seen the shape of
the space shuttle?

Hello.
I didn't know what a peice of paper could do! its the latest fad at my school and I am the number uno designer their. My greatest creation is the bunny and a slight change for a vampire. It is garanteed to do at least two coplete high 360s. But I see I have much to learn. Make sure you post some more free copies!

I think I've found the missing link! Your planes look AND fly great! The F16 that I made just won a five buck bet because I threw it from my house to the greenbelt(about 60 feet). Keep designing more planes of that type and put out new plans on your site.
Cheers,
Kevan Lim

Kevan,
My dream is to see it flying across the Foot ball Stadium, I wonder if it will cross the field if thrown from the highest seat. ;-)

I must say that at first I was not very impressed with the results of my printing out of the pattern for the F-16. I didn't take very much care in folding or cutting. I thought that this was going to be another one of those "very hard to fold, wouldn't fly if you were lucky" type of paper airplanes.
I give you my apologize, this model is one of the best flying paper airplanes I have ever seen. It has earned a sacred spot on top of my monitor.
You mention a book of all of your designs. How much is it and how do I get it. I think I have got to have it.
Thanks for your wonderful work.

Wow! I have never seen such a detail and realistic look to scaled paperplanes. Thank you for the plans for the F-16. Now I will have something exciting to build tomorrow while waiting to fly with my next student.

Greetings!

My name is Gene Van Horne and I downloaded your airplanes the other night. I must tell you these two models are the BEST paper planes I've ever made. They fly straight as an arrow, and just glide forever. I was so impressed that I spent over an hour coloring your patterns in adobe photoshop. I was wondering, when I send you a check will I just get the patterns, or will there be a book I can get? Thanks again!!! Great Work!!!

Hi, Your planes are great. Congrats.
I have a six and a half year old son who went into hospital yesterday for an operation -- he's back home and OK now. I printed out the F-16 and made it for him in the hospital. It attracted the attention of many of the other kids in his ward and helped in lifting many low spirits !!!
