Paper Planes Page #2

I'm telling you

to use your brain

and figure it out.

I'm about to rub out

section three.

- Are we finished it?

- Yep.

Brilliant!

This is how I make

a piece of paper fly 25 metres.

Whoa!

Whoa!

Try not to be annoying

your whole life, Kevin.

Back on your chair, mate.

Right. Where were we?

- So lovely to see you again.

- Thank you. My pleasure.

Grandpa! Hi.

- Oh. Hello.

- Oh! Dylan!

How you going, mate?

Who was that lady, Grandpa?

She's just an old friend,

that's all.

I was just...

just helping her out.

Well, must have done

a fine job,

because she looks

pretty happy.

It's important to have pride

in your work.

So my plane flew over 50 metres

first time.

It didn't go anywhere close

the next.

You...you were a...

you were a pilot.

Do you have...any ideas?

Well, maybe we can fashion

some sort of a small engine

and fix it to the airframe.

You know, I'm actually pretty sure

you can't do that.

We could make it very small

so's...so no-one'd notice.

I believe they call that...

cheating.

Course, I only had experience,

you know,

flying powered aircraft.

That was during the war. So...

There's only one thing

for it, mate.

You'll have to put

your thinking cap on.

Right. Well, that's

what my teacher said as well.

Anyway. This is me, then.

- Hello, Beryl.

- Hello.

You gonna...help her out too?

Thanks for dropping by, kiddo.

- Wake up!

- What?

- What, what, what?

- Come on.

- What?

- Come on!

What? What?

What? What? What?

I've got an idea.

You know, I can transfer those

to a DVD or a...a flash drive.

What, you gonna try and drag me

into the 21st century?

Or the 20th.

Got it. Come here. Come on!

This is Australia's

greatest sporting moment.

Everyone remembers it because...

..this was the...

first time we won.

'Australia II' picked up

an amazing

one minute and 18 seconds

and with that, slid into the lead

with one leg to sail.

And this was what won it

for 'Australia II'.

- The bulbous winged keel...

- There.

.. that made

the West Australian 12-metre

so competitive.

You see it? There. That.

That's the winged keel.

Alright, now...

They kept it a secret,

and the reason was 'cause

Ben Lexcen, the designer,

he knew better than anyone

how a boat

went through the water.

Keels used to be like this.

He made his like this.

So, what's your winged keel?

Well, I don't have

a winged keel.

Well, then,

you gotta find it.

That is what everyone says.

Grandpa, my teacher.

And now you.

OK. Here's some advice.

Study everything that flies.

Right.

Oh, I should go back to bed.

Hey.

- Yeah?

- Yeah.

Thanks, Dad.

Hey, your grandad had some...

some toys in the shed, yeah?

Maybe some of them could fly,
