| May 8, 2015 at 0:54 | comment | added | Xeren Narcy | Could you please elaborate on this part? "I hold the sheet of paper at the "tail" with approximately 45° nose down attitude..." If your drawing of the initial conditions is accurate, are you holding the paper flat at that angle? (it would have to be resting on something, like your hand) | |
