Paper Airplane Launcher - Springs

My kids spent an afternoon building this and then spent hours launching paper airplanes across the room. The spring mechanism is surprisingly powerful and easy to adjust for distance.

The instructions were clear enough that my 10-year-old assembled the launcher solo in about 20 minutes. The spring-loaded mechanism gives a satisfying snap, and we've been tweaking the angle to get our planes to fly across the living room. Great way to make engineering feel like play.

The spring mechanism snaps the plane out way faster than I expected, and my son spent an entire rainy Saturday testing different folds to see which one flew farthest. Sixteen planes in the box meant no one had to share.
