"Planes, Jets & Helicopters" is lots of fun and doesn't require anything more than the typical 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Gives good instructions on how to build AND how to throw the planes.

This book makes a great way to have fun with the kids. Our [...] sons love this book. The planes vary from the simple spinning dart to a few slick jets. We first discovered this book at the library. With all the kid abuse toward the book we finally had to buy our own copy.

I was also surprised at how much fun my inner engineer/crafty-person was having.

My only complaint would be that we found a couple of instances in the book where the instructions referred to "point A" and there was no "point A" to be found. But with the figures/pictures it was easy enough to figure out.

Overall... a lot of fun for the family and the engineer/child/crafty-person in you.

I've always loved making paper airplanes, and this book has plenty to choose from. Directions are mostly easy, though some are challanging. I taught a craft youth session making and flying these, from ages 6-12 and it was a hit. Even taught a little about aeronautics.
