Planes for Brains: 28 Innovative Origami Airplane Designs: Includes Full-Color Origami Book with Downloadable Video Instructions Kindle Edition

Many years ago, after my 7 and 4-year-old sons and I took a paper plane workshop with Michael LaFosse during the first Charlotte, NC Origami Festival, I bought all of his VHS paper airplaine instructionals, at $25 EACH. We have had SO MUCH quality time/family fun with these planes over the years, and we haven't grown out of them! Here are all 3 of them combined into one DVD - best visual origami instruction EVER - for an unbelievably low price! The planes are the best ever - fly fantastically! - I've wasted my time and money investigating many other paper airplane books, and have never found the level of success or satisfaction with any others. The video makes it failproof. I collect origami books, and have come to appreciate good instruction - folds aren't always presented in learner-friendly ways. This book/dvd set is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED if you love origami and value clear, easy-to-follow diagrams, but Michael's video tutorials take these to the next fabulous level of origami instruction.

My son (7-year old) loves folding airplanes and I bought this book for him. Some models are hard for him so I'll fold along with him. Once he had a hang of it, he was even inspired to create his own models with the skills that he has learned from this book. The illustration and steps are clear. We love to read the paragraph in the beginning of each model about Michael's inspiration about creating that model and sometimes he suggested which way it flies the best. We highly recommended this book!

Great

I liked this book because it came with a DVD of the author making EVERY plane in the book. Origami instructions can be confusing from one step to the next and the DVD makes it much more clear. The planes fly great if you fold then precisely and stay together. None of the planes in the book require any tools like scissors, tape, glue, etc. My son and I love it.

My son's favorite book. My son uses this book just about everyday. He loves watching the DVD and following the directions. He has made many paper airplanes. He is having lots of fun

Bought this as a Christmas present for my nephew. He instantly fell in love and couldn't wait to get started.

My grandson, 7 yrs. old, loved this book and immediately began building planes.

Great book but we received a damaged one.

Loved this book. Just need to find the time to build them all. Not for the kids as the origami is harder than other books. But it's a great must have for any paper aircraft fan. Good use of origami folds and from my experience; they will fly well. Not all I suspect, but some are so good looking. I would not want to throw them. Keep them for the arts sake. Paper Aircraft are art after all. Andy Chipling look me up and you can see my review is independent and I hope of use to my fellow paper aircraft family.

Excellent work. It is a bit technical for kids under 9 years old ( to be honest, depends on kids actually) but how it’s how they learn. I would say it is a must have book if you into papre airplanes or origami.

Super book loads of ideas

Awesome aeroplanes and they fly really well.

Wenn das Wetter mal wieder zu wünschen übrig lässt, dann ist dieses Buch die Rettung! Ich habe schon als Kind gerne Papierflugzeuge gebastelt und ich muss sagen, selbst heute macht es mir noch Spaß. Es ist eine super Beschäftigung wenn das Wetter einen ans Haus fesselt.Das Buch ist eine wahre Schatzkiste. Wer Inspirationen sucht, der findet diese in diesem Buch. Eine DVD mit Anleitungstipps ist übrigens auch dabei.
