Every person who has ever made a paper airplane when they were a child is like "man, where was this when I wanted it." I had this idea, but I was too young to do anything about it. What i used to do is make a balsa wood frame with my official boy scouts pocket knife and put paper wings on it. Then I would attach a paper clip to the bottom and run a rubber band to some balsa wood fins I took from a model rocket kit. It looked really neat but never flew very well.
