Flying Paper 'Helicopter' Models Menu Page
The models on this page are almost identical, but provided in different formats for easy printing. The exact sizes are not critical, so they may be scaled up or down without seriously affecting their flying ability.
To launch, hold the model as high as you can, (or over a stair-well, like in the video below) with the tip of the cone pointing straight down. The model requires a small amount of height to get started, and may fly better with a small weight in the tip of the cone.
This is probably the most stable, reliable flier of the helicopter models on this site, but for if you want to experiment with these designs, or are having problems, have a look at our tips on flying paper helicopter models.
