The Great International Paper Airplane Construction Kit lets MacPaint users create customized versions of some of the world's best paper airplanes. The kit consists of a disk of MacPaint files with basic designs and decorations for custom aircraft, including wings, tails, assorted hardware and armament. The designs are reprinted from The Great Internationat Paper Airplane Construction Book, The manual explains the procedure, from decoration to actual assembly used to create a personalized masterpiece.
Before creating a plane, one of the sixteen designs must be selected as a template. Printouts of the illustration files in the back of the manual serve as guidelines. Users may put the designs provided on the plane or create designs of their own. Once suitable pictures have been located, the pictures are selected using the marquee tooland copied into the Scrapbook using the standard cut and paste techniques. [Remember to not save changes to the design files since the files will be of more use later if left intact.) This process is repeated until all the art needed to complete the plane has been collected in the Scrapbook.
The pictures in the Scrapbook are now pasted onto the plane template. The design already has folding lines to use as a guideline for assembly. It is unwise to cover these lines with illustrations since the lines must be visible when folding the plane. When the decoration process is finished, the plane is printed.
Fold the plane by following the instructions in the book and the dashed lines. All that remains is to find friendly airspace and let your imagination soar.
Since the drawings are MacPaint files The Great International Paper Airplane Construction Kit is easy to use. The documentation is elaborate. It includes explanations and hints for every step and in the back of the book there are pictures of some finished plane designs and short descriptions of the flight characteristics of each.
In our rush, rush, rush society people don't relax and let stress and tensions build. This program provides a fun way to relax during slow moments in the day. At home children of all ages can occupy themselves for hours building, planes and with a Mac creating a plane is half the fun.
