Thanks everyone for participating in our contest. Your submissions were all excellent demonstrations of the airplane-making prowess of our readership.

But in the end, there can only be one distance winner. And that winner is Danny, whose plane gracefully fell from a tall Toronto building during windy weather.

Congrats to Danny and the others who were first to record their creations in flight.

Arrington simply needs to come on here and let us know the deal — was it a real contest or not?

Fair to say, I think, that the competition was legitimate, even though we could all work out for ourselves that the plane was a joke. Trust me, once assembled, only dropping it from a great height was going to make it “fly” - It rather took the Buzz Lightyear approach of falling with style. (thanks Brian for that hint!)

That said, with a tail and folded wings, it performs rather well as a stunt plane, which is what the design is based on (mis-spent school days).

Now, I think, we’re all waiting to hear the judge’s verdict on whose went the furthest…

Hmph. I was under the impression that, while the plane was a Google joke, the contest was a fun derivative that was actually real.

I think the april fools joke here was not that they had a paper airplane in google docs, but that their paper airplane that they put in google docs SUCKS. So google is sitting back laughing at all of you for putting this thing together and attempting to make it fly…

Try not to throw them so hard, throw them slow and gently let go of them.

Alright, so to prove that my night video was actually real, here is a daytime version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W9ysTRGzoN8 It goes about 30 feet less in the video, but it’s just to show that my original post wasn’t fake my original post: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....re=related

I’m pretty sure that’s the farthest horizontal distance any of the planes went on their own (and by on their own I mean without balloons and things, though that was creative!).

An occasionally starving student appreciates your vote.

I wanted to post the above before the deadline. I ask that the judge(s) wait until the video is done processing before rendering a final verdict.

Cheers!
