i've never stopped a video so many times.

The camera cuts make this really hard to follow :-(

Just a tip: I know these are simple folds, but for instructional videos it’s super helpful to use paper that has only one coloured side, or at least a different color on the other side, to differentiate between sides and more easily see the folds you are making :)

Instructions were unclear, now I have 47 pet bats in my house

And the best tie of the year award goes to...

Me: folds paper in Half and looks up Video: so there you go and final crease

*A person who took Paper Airplanes seriously as a career* : Folding airplanes preciously *Camera Man* :Showing how good he is at camera by tilting and changing angles *Us* (literally nothing to say)

6:35 Great explanation just a really really great explanation

glad to know that I’m not the only one struggling here

15:42 "If you're into the whole metric thing?" I feel attacked

Him: "to start we're gonna use the standard US Letter size paper" Me: *cries in A4*

I just finished the first Boomerang Plane. I flew it. And the only thing that came back to me was my belief that I did something wrong. It flew like a regular paper plane, but smoother.

who else got COMPLETELY lost on the first one?

I like it how his tie is also paper plane themed!

Omg stop changing camera angles it’s so hard to follow

Brain: Ok, got it. Hands: No,you don't!

The bat plane is what Bob Ross would call "Happy Mistakes"

It's a joy to watch somebody talk about their passion, whatever that passion may be

Him: Now we are going to the complicated part Me: uh oh

Dude this is cool but what's with the changing of angles, it's so hard to follow

Bro this man changes the angles every one second that i can even do a fold

Happy to see some love for paper airplanes

I love the "If you are into that metric thing" yeah 90% of world is into that thing

4:45 I have the best paper airplane knowledge. I also have no friends.

I’ve got a funky origami plane of my original design that I call the F-23 because it vaguely resembles the YF-23 Black Widow. It’s not a phenomenal flier or anything, but it’s cool looking. I also have another one deceptively named Victory. It’s a complex plane with long broad low set wings and a tail and winglets and elevators. If built properly it can fly well, but it’s incredibly temperamental and also has a high chance of not flying particularly well. That said it’s fairly quick and likes to glide off high places with a gentle launch sometimes at a slight downward angle. And then of course you have your classic Flying needle which is an exercise in what happens when you throw a thin heavy thing really hard. It was my first. It’s a joke plane that everybody makes at least once. It’ll put your eye out if you stand in front of it.

Some people fold a paper airplane when they’re bored, this man folded himself a career.

Let’s use the easiest color paper for people to see, YELLOW

Instructions unclear, ended up making star destroyers.

Yup that looks about right Fly’s just like I thought it would I didn’t think it was gonna fly

This is the content I subscribed for.

I can not wait to build some of these for my grand daughters. They are going to love this!

I wish to thank him for telling us the recipe for world record airplane

Followed all the instructions carefully. I ended up making the infinity gauntlet :(

lets call it what it is: *aerospace origami*

this guy makes my favorite paper planes!

Mr. Paper Airplane, I love all your planes.

This video rocks like a pendulum! Been making flying origami my whole life and I still learned a thing or two! Thanks master Collins!

This mans got some lucky kiddos

Instructions unclear: ate a bat and started a global pandemic

I made 4 of the five, the bat one worked, not as good as i wanted but it worked, and the world record one, such a nice plane

K i folded the paper in half...

He never lost connection with his inner child

21:06 lmao you can hear the plane crashing before the camera cuts

I'm infuriated with trying to see what's going on with the yellow paper without seeing the creases

The paper is so bright I can hardly tell what is even going on half the time >_< Also, the camera angles constantly change which is making it harder to follow along...

I ain't got time to make these but I love how passionate this man is, could listen to him folding planes for days.

This Is what backbenchers do during classes

I learn that John Collin looks like John Goodman the actor, only the Paper Airplane man is slimmer and younger. Thanks for the instructions. It's never too old to be young.

Thank you Wired for introducing me to this guy! I made the flapping bat and it worked so good that my dog got excited and tried to hunt it down!

harder than the furniture at ikea

My kids are going to love these

This is the best guy making paper airplane

Probably the most useful youtube video I've ever come across, not kidding.

Just tell me who was the Cameraman?😠😠

He is such a professional

Should use dark papers, for we can see the folds and crease clearly.

Why is a 64 year old semiretired aircraft / aerospace engineer watching this wonderful video ? --> I was bored . Time for a beer and make some airplanes . Thanx for your video . Rockwell International .

stop changing the camera jesus christ it is so hard to follow it when you do that

hi john collins i am neil i am 8 year old i made the boomerang 2 and it works. Thank you

these are the best planes i have seen

*30 minutes later* Boomerang plane flying like a regular plane....

him: fold a crease me: fold a what?

I didn't think this needed an epilepsy warning. The angles proved me wrong.

I’ve been making paper planes for almost 6 years, and these are the coolest paper planes i’ve ever seen

Rip airplane boomerang, you flew so majestically over the trees and never came back 😢

Best tie, awesome dude(he looks so happy, love it)

I just made the boomerang 2 ( it's 5 am here ) for the first time and it came back and now I'm sweating playing with it non stop 😂

This guy is a legend 👌

Put it on 0.5 speed, I find it easier to follow :)

He is a great science educator. We should applaud him.

1:14 Him: The most complicated part Me: Wait *ｗｈａｔ ｔｈｅ ｆｕｃ*

now i've wasted lots of paper and i'm crying. what a nice throwback to my college years thx

THIS GUY IS A LEGEND !!! AWESOME :)

Its amazing how people in these videos always make creases prefectly and never make creases uneven.

wow this man is so good at paper planes.

Incredible! Imagination & execution.. with good number of trials, final understanding & perfection is truly a good marriage b/w science & art. Beautiful ❤️👍

me: this is going to be eaaaaassssyy *60 Seconds Later* wait so how the fu-

tried everything 4 times. I need to investigate my plane. All of em went somewhere and never came back.

john collin is the bestttttttttttttttt!

Me during the last one:😡😡😡😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡😡🤬😡🤬😡😡🤬🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡😡😡😡🤬😡😡🤬😡🤬🤬drddxxdbdxjfuifujfjdjdjdhdidjdndndnffudcjdjsjskduxkckdkdkdkdkfudkdkdkdkkkddkkdkdjdjskskskkdfjdjheb🥵🥵🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 My friend:👌🏾🙂😉🤣

I enjoy long walks in the beach and flying paper plains.

Him: You gotta keep these corners in the center. Okay and now.. Me: Wait, wait! What if we can't?!

AWESOME MR COLLINS

I just wanted to shout out to the editor of this video: I know you're getting roasted here in the comments section, people saying it's too hard to follow, etc. As a professional video editor myself, I just wanted to voice my opinion that you did a great job. You kept the pace of the video alive and in my opinion the cuts were made in places that made a lot of sense. I followed the instructions for all of the planes in this video (except for the Tumbling Wing) and I didn't find them hard to follow at all. I did have to pause the video a couple times, which is to be expected for an instructional video of this type. But I honestly think that all the people who are complaining about it being too hard to follow just suck at paperfolding. I've folded origami since I was at most five years old, so I understood the terms and techniques he was using and I didn't even really need to look at the video that much; I mostly just relied on his voice and only looked up at the video when he was referencing a specific corner or crease. You probably don't need me to tell you, but you didn't do a poor job editing this video. I think it's simply a case of target audience mismatch: an experienced paperfolder like me can follow along no problem, but the normies of KZfaq struggle. Thank you and the rest of your team for a great video!

My bat plane was an absolute failure...

Thanks John Collins. Me and my two sons had a blast folding these air planes thanks for sharing this.

The bat plane was very good👍

WIRED is very cool

I made a plane very very similar to the world record one. I'm so proud of myself. The main difference is that mine uses a 60° fold for the start. Flight patterns look almost identical if you fold up the very edge of the wing. It flies great.

If you buy the book it's easier to see what he's doing. It's actually the kind of book that sits well on a personal library shelf (PLS).

it is incredible how he can make those paper 📝 ✈️ planes

heart beats stopped of this

What's the camera mans problem?... we get it... you can move around... but we want to see each fold hes making not how awesome you are at angles😡🤬

Why did nobody fix the audio, they had time to switch cameras a billion times and reuse the same clips of visuals *BUT NOBODY FIXED THE POPING AUDIO*

bro the the creases are invisible and the cameraman thinks hes David Attenborough -14/10 for me

I propose to include this in job interview. Those that complete proves to have attention to detail and delicacy.
