Slide the rope through the rubber hose strip, placing the robber hose strip at the top of the swing set bar, to protect the rope from grinding against the bar when the tire swing is in action. Purchase the amount of rope to match the measurements you collected previously. A rope this size will be more durable and safer. Preparing the RopeĬhoose a large, fat rope with a wide diameter. Dry it off with an old towel, to remove some more of the black.ĭrill a few drainage holes in the bottom of the tire to prevent water buildup from rains. Try to get as much of the black residue off as you can. Spraying a powerful degreaser for tires, along with the car wash power wash, is recommended.
Take the tire to a car wash and power wash it to remove as much grime, dirt and grease as you can. If the tire is an old model, one that wouldn't have wires, that would be a better option. Search the tire to make sure no wires are sticking out, if the tire is a more modern radial model. Preparing the Tireįind the correct tire for your swing. But getting a rope too short makes for unsafe knots. You can always cut some of the rope off or add a few extra knots for climbing if you feel the rope is too long. Add 10 feet to that distance to make sure that you have enough rope to tie appropriate knots. Measure from top of the swing set to the area where you feel you want the rope swing to hang. If you can find a balcony or other safe place where you can throw the paper airplane from higher up, you will be able to get much more hang time.Set the swing set into the ground, following the manufacturer's instructions so that it doesn't rock back and forth. This is currently our pick for the best paper plane for time in the air. This may not seem like much, but the average paper airplane flight is less than 2 seconds, so this is more than triple that. In our tests, a 10 year old child got this design to stay up for over 6 seconds. The goal is for it to go straight up and then level off and glide around in circles for as long as possible. Gravity is your enemy in this contest, so the higher you can throw it, the longer it will stay up. To optimize your throw for time aloft, throw this paper airplane straight up as high as you can. Be patient and make tiny wing adjustments to get this design to glide very slowly through the air.
This design is fairly easy to fold, but a little tricky to adjust for long flights. The paper airplane that stays up in the air the longest is the Stealth Glider. It goes a bit further, but requires a good rubber band and a solid launch. If you don't mind using a rubber band to add a little extra oomph, then try the Lift Off paper plane. If we find a better design we'll let you know, but for now this is our pick for the best paper plane for distance. If you throw it harder, it could go even further. In our tests, a 10 year old child regularly threw this paper airplane more than 50 feet.
If you are outdoors, put the wind at your back to get a little boost. To learn more about making adjustments to your paper planes, please read our article on steering your paper airplanes. If the airplane doesn't go in a straight line, you can make small bends to the backs of the wings. Throw as hard as you can without causing the paper to deform in the wind. To optimize your throw for distance, try tossing this paper airplane at a 45° upward angle. This design is relatively easy to fold, and if it is adjusted carefully it can glide for a very long distance. If you are looking for the furthest flying paper airplane that can really go the distance, we recommend The Bird.
