The American Flyer Paper Airplane

The American Flyer is our attempt to create a plane almost as cool as the Spirit of America that's easier to fold and still flies great (if not better--but don't tell the SoA fans). It definitely seems to be easier to fly and more forgiving of a bad throw. Try it for yourself, and have fun!
