Ask John Collins just how he became such a master of the art of paper airplanes and he'll tell you years and years of practice.
"How did I get into it?" He says, "I didn't, I just never got out of it."
Collins has taken what is for many a casual school day pastime, and evolved the art of the paper plane into a study of science and engineering.
While even the most basic planes are fun for most schoolroom flights, Collins says a few careful tricks and basic principles of flight can take your plane from crash-and-burn to out of this world.
