SAFETY WARNING: DO NOT LAUNCH A PLANE WITH A POINTED NOSE AND DO NOT AIM THE LAUNCHER AT ANOTHER

PERSON.

10. Operation: Switch on the plane launcher. Place the plane on the plane holder and slowly push the plane into the pulleys. Let go of the

plane as soon as the wheels grip it. The plane will be pulled through the wheels and launched at high speed. Watch the plane fly! Note:

You can adjust the height of the legs to launch the plane at different angles. If necessary use the adhesive tab (part N) to fix the launcher

to the table – this will make the launcher more stable.

11. If you find the wheels are too close to each other, making the motor turn slowly, you can increase the distance between them with the

adjustor bar. To do this: screw the adjuster screw in to make the base bend slightly. The distance between the wheels should be about 1

mm.

E. WHAT NEXT?

Try out some different paper plane designs. You might get some ideas from books or the internet. Which designs fly furthest? Which

designs stay in the air the longest? Can you make an acrobatic paper plane?

Note: The paper plane must have a vertical fuselage for the launcher to grip. For paper plane designs with a flat base you can attach a

separate 'launch strip' with adhesive tape. Design your own paper plane graphics.

F. HOW DOES IT WORK?

The plane launcher uses two rotating wheels. A lot of energy is stored in these wheels when they are spinning. When you slip a paper

plane in between, some of the energy is transferred to it and the plane is thrown out at high speed. Ball launchers for tennis and cricket

practice work in the same way except the gap between the wheels is much greater.

G. TROUBLESHOOTING

If you are having problems launching planes at high speed, check that gap between the wheels is correct:

1. If you find the wheels are too close you can adjust the gap with the adjustor bar.

2. Don't make the gap between the pulley too large as the wheels will not be able to grip the plane. It may take a few practice launches to

get the gap just right.

3. Make sure you allow a few seconds for the wheels to get up to speed before launching a plane.

If your planes don't launch properly:

1. Check that the wires are connected correctly so that the motors are spinning in opposite directions.

2. Check that you are using fresh batteries.

3. Check if the motors are spinning in the correct directions, i.e. when you place the launcher facing out and you look at the motors from

the top, the right motor should be spinning clockwise and the left motor should be spinning anticlockwise. If not, refer to step 3 and

reconnect the wires following the diagram.

H. FUN FACTS

1. Your plane launcher has been designed to launch paper planes at high speed. With your launcher you can try out different paper plane

designs to see which one flies furthest or does the best acrobatics.

2. The plane launcher can throw a paper plane much faster than you can by hand. If you scaled the plane up to, it would be flying faster

than a real plane!

3. Paper has been made for over 500 years and is now one of the most common and inexpensive materials. But many trees are needed

each year just to supply one family with all the paper it needs.

4. Professional engineers take part in world-wide competitions to design and fly paper. Many engineers claim to have made the perfect

plane, but can you do better – and prove it?
