OK, I knew I could not make a real paper airplane that would fly, but I can't even make one on the computer either.

You evil evil person - 03-20-2007, 03:51 PM


You posted this extreme time waster!!!

And here's my best...and no, I don't need to set the TPF record. I'm happy with what I have...although I could imagine myself spending the next 8 hour tweaking the settings to optimize my throw.

Cool--something that combines SolidWorks and aerodynamics in one neat little Flash game!
