·         13 Popsicle sticks

How to make a paper plane launcher

1. Get a two by four construction grade cut a 27” piece then use a table saw to shave it to 1.5” width and .75” height

2. About two inches from the right end draw a line like this

3. After that draw an oval in front of the line like this

4. Use a gouge and carve out the oval like a bowl about half an inch deep.

5.Get a nail about one millimeter thick and 1 in long the with cable cutters cut the head off hammer the nail into the center of the oval until flush with outside wood so about half a inch of nail shows fold the nail over on the other side.

6. Then turn the wood sideways and drill a hole about 1 fourth of a inch down like this

7. Buy some home wiring copper about 1 mm thick

8.cut two lengths of wire about 6 inches strip the insulation off then with pliers slide  them into the holes and bend around the nail like this then solder together

 9. Hot glue a Popsicle stick two these two wires below the wood they should move freely back and forth

10. use a v tool on the left end of the launcher cut a v about half a inch deep like this then drive a nail same as the first into the v like this leave the head on

11. Get about eight inches of the same wire as the first glue on like this 

                                                                                                                                             

12. Hot glue Popsicle sticks to the right of the launcher like this

13. Hot glue three Popsicle sticks about two inches from the end of the left side like this

                                                                                                                                                           

14. Spread out the Popsicle sticks in step 13 with another Popsicle sticks like this

15. Drive another nail in same kind as the others leave the head on leaves about 3mm out

                                                                                                                               

16. Cut two nine inch wires then hot glue to the launcher like this

17. Tie a string to the nail in step 15 and 10 then tie those to a binding rubber band

18. Bend a paper clip into a hook shape like this

19. Slide the rubber band into the paper clip do it rests right here

20. Pull the paper clip back so this part rests on the nail in step 5 with the soldered wire in step 8 then push the Popsicle stick in step 9 the paper clip should slide off the nail then the rubber band flinging it forward

21. To launch planes make cones like this tape to either side of the plane slide cone on to hook after completing step 20

You have completed building the paper plane launcher

the cannon

angle i launch at

to get the poatato in i take the barrel off it and shove it in there

on the end of the barrel the pvc is filed into a edge like a apple corer

which cuts the patato into a near perfect projectile

i sound like a nerd right

the red thingy is a handle for a half inch ball valve

 if you want to make one of these go to a ace hardware they are really helpful

the guy got me all the parts in like ten minutes

be careful blah blah blah saftey glasses blah

not responsible for injury

dont go past 30 psi if you use the bike valve

like this one

                                                               have fun
                                                       wwwwweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Ive seen explosive cannons pneumatic cannons
but my favorite one is pneumatic because the explosive kind
over time degrade so what i did was i built a PVC chamber resembling a t with a curve
