Helicopter

The helicopter is a classic design that spins rapidly as it descends. It works


great when dropped from a high place. Try different amounts of weight on the
bottom tab. Notice that the helicopter spins in different directions depending on
which direction the rotors are folded.

Cut out all five helicopter templates by cutting along line 1.

Cut along cut line 2.

Cut along cut line 3.

Fold flaps toward each other along fold


lines 4. One will overlap the other.

Fold up bottom tab along fold line 5.

Fold rotors down along fold lines 6 in


opposite directions. Attach a paper clip
to the bottom tab to add weight. Drop
from high over your head and watch the
helicopter spin as it descends slowly.
