Drag Flaps for Paper Airplane
So we have our wings, and again you can try different things with the wings. You can make them bigger, you can roll them over or you can do whatever you want and see what is best for you. Next, we can make a little bit of another flap, or several flaps if you want, to resist the wind and give it a little drag.
