4M: Electric Plane Launcher

The spinning motor really gets the launcher going, and my kids spent a whole afternoon tweaking their paper planes to see which fold flew farthest. It’s a solid build and a great way to make science feel like play.

My son was so excited to see his paper airplanes actually launch across the room—the spinning motor mechanism is surprisingly powerful for such a simple setup. Took us about 20 minutes to assemble, and he's been experimenting with different paper folds ever since.

My son built the whole launcher himself in about twenty minutes and the spinning motor really does fling those paper planes across the living room. It's a fun way to see how the engineering works while just playing.
