Veering off and spinning in circles

[Bushmaster]

Paper planes.

I may have mentioned before that I occasionally have a frenzy of making them and chucking them off the balcony (waaay high up in the sky). But they invariably begin to make a wide circle and hit the building a few floors down (or up).

How to make them fly straight?

Make both wings the same size.

Make both wings at the same angle.

Launch them when their is no breeze, thermal currents, turbulence, etc.

nice symmetrical design, and don't throw too hard.

If you've ever seen those bishop's mitre type flying tube things, they'll go for miles.

very simple, but uses top secret technology apparently

That is the worst looking paper plane I have ever seen.

Looks nothing like a plane.

No, that's a hat. Isn't it?
