Who should win the week 4 creative challenge?
(Rules are next, entries are below)

Rules for this week:

Week 4 Creative Category - "most creative" flying machine (Presented by YOyoYOhowsDAjello)

Materials:
One 8.5" x 11" piece of paper (I'm not specifying paper weight... use what you want)
Two #1 smooth paper clips (optional) (I'm hoping this is a standard type... if not, just use some that are about 1.25" long)
Whatever other decorative / construction materials you want.

Goal:
Build something that can "fly" that is totally awesome.
You are encouraged to decorate to your heart's content.
Create a flying machine that will appeal to the voters of ATOT, who will decide your fate.

Rules:
The spirit of this competition is to have a creative version of the paper flight theme.
Your contraption should contain the paper as a building material, but feel free to go nuts on this. Add in whatever other decoration materials you desire.
In your video, your contraption should have some sort of characteristics that resemble "flight". Maybe it's just a parachute or something... I don't know. Just make if float or glide a bit or something...

To submit:
You must provide a VIDEO of a complete flight of your flying machine from launch to landing.
You must provide AT LEAST 3 PICTURES of your flying machine from different angles so we can observe its construction.
You must provide a Written or Video explanation of your design and an argument for why it is the "most creative" flying machine.

How will a winner be determined?
If there are 10 or less participants, I will make a new thread where we can vote on the winner with a vbulletin poll. If there are more than 10 participants, the new thread will not include a poll, and voters will just vote by "write-in" for the submitters.

This week's entries:

Entry 1
Entry 2

Make sure you vote in both threads. Week 4 Engineering Challenge

Both of those attempts are yours.... you win!

I vote entry two though because you tried to recreate a rubberband airplane which is pretty cool.

Guessing mine did not qualify?

This is the creative challenge without the materials requirement.

Yours is in the engineering thread.

(I can only make one poll per thread, so I had to make two threads for the two different contests)

I assumed yours was supposed to be in the engineering category since you only used a single piece of paper and no additional materials.
