If you have reached this stage in the book you will already know that not all paper planes are the same. Some very strange-looking designs can take to the skies. And the name? Is it called the Flying Pig because it has wings and a definitely pig-like snout? Or simply because that’s the way it flies? The Flying Pig is basically a short triangular tube equipped with stubby wings. It shouldn’t really fly at all. But it does. Occasionally it even flies quite well.

It is also launched in a most unusual way. You have to hold it by the nose and pull it in the general direction you would prefer to fly, remembering to let go before it has headed for the floor. Running with it in the way you might run to launch a particularly ground-loving kite might help as well. There is a definite art to this. Get it right and the Flying Pig will glide surprisingly well. You could try the effect of curling the wing-tips slightly. Only slightly, mind. This is not by any means a Flying Stunt Pig.
