homemade flights

[jamie373]

how to make your own flights, i done the video using a standard flight as a template ,but the reason behind this is to use different shapes not available to buy to experiment. same process ,but using different size squares , shapes and materials. i also bent the fins on some i made to create spinners which where pretty cool and work. i'd like it if others posted the shapes and materials they use. i put music in the video to block out the other sounds and nobody or very few of you would understand my thick glaswegian accent during the effects of a heavy cold ! lol . these will work best in slick stick stems as i just used drawing paper which is quite thick perhaps with some thin plastic sheet you could use them in nylon stems.



once you have made a shape you are happy with you have a template you can scan and keep to make others by drawing around

Love the music as well! +1 to you for such brilliant idea! Nathan should teach this art/craft in school!

I like it Jamie!

Good Tutorial video, I kept meaning to do something like that myself to show how to fold the old vintage paper flights. What you did there is really pretty much how they came out with the standard shape.

Don't know what the music was but it was good too! Guests cannot see images in the messages. Please register at the forum by clicking here to see images.

Video not available... (here in Germany)

Put any regional restriction on it or played copyrighted music in the background?

[jamie373]

oh i didn't realize the music would do that . i'll see if i can fix it

[Getagrip]

yeah it will be the music, its annoying when it does that, put some on a couple of my vids but its more hassle really.

Played around with Con-tact self adhesive vinyl a while back. Lots of colors available. Very reminiscent of real-seal flights from back in the day.

IIRC, they were pretty flexible if you like that type of flight.
