Make a Cool ‘Copter!


Making your own gyrocopter is so easy…and so much fun!

Here’s what you do:

1. Cut a strip of paper that is 2 ½” wide and 6 ½” long. 

2. Starting at the top (on the skinny end), cut a slit through the middle of the paper.  The slit should be about 3”.  This creates the “wings” of your gyrocopter.

3. Fold the wings down in opposite directions.

4. Attach a paper clip to the bottom of the strip to add some weight.

5. Hold your gyrocopter up high, let go and watch it fly!
