LIFT:
Lift is from fast air over airfoil
Fast air comes from curvature and nose up at an angle
FLAPS / Controls
Paper airplane elevator keeps nose up at an angle
Wing Angle
Keeps plane from rolling over
FLAPS
Most important for low speed turns
Paper airplane rudder
Bend right to turn right, left to go left
BALANCE
Heaviest part forward
Wing moved aft
