Happy Halloween, in advance. http://www.apptism.com/apps/paper-plane-guy-s-bat-plane
For a buck you get instructions for my Bat Plane that flaps its wings as it flies. Use thin paper, like phone book paper, and fold neatly.

Thanks to Tim Martin, iPhone app developer extraordinaire for pulling off a spooktacular job in time for Halloween.

Oddly, this was not my only brush with bat greatness lately. Those who check my calendar pages will have noticed my recent trip to Spokane for Mobius Children’s museum. This was a fund raising event held at a casino. No kids; well, except for me. I had just flown the Bat Plane to great effect, and as I was returning to the stage for another throw, I had a thought. With an adult only crowd, they might remember that cheesy theme from the old Bat Man tv show. I announced that I was about to make everyone feel old and asked if they were ready. I rolled right into a pitch perfect delivery of “duh duh da da, duh duh da da, duh duh da da, duh duh da da… and waited for it. The audience, in near totality, sang, “Bat Plane”. Mission accomplished. They all had another sip of their martinis. I continued attempting to miss their dinner courses with the rest of my aerial assault on their senses.

In other news: training, planning, and paper acquisition continue in preparation for a record breaking day.
