The Big Challenge
Fold a paper airplane from one sheet of copy paper, then fly it on the test range. There are two trophies to win:
Distance ChampionThe plane that flies the farthest from the start line.
Bullseye ChampionThe plane that lands closest to the center of the target.
Everyone gets three throws in each event, and your best throw counts. A tie? The tied pilots have a fly-off until one plane wins.
You will fly twice. Once before any lessons, and once after you learn the secrets of real pilots and engineers. Can you beat yourself?
