the first was intended to be the slower one. i left the plate whole and intact so it could catch more air. i bent the edges in and put a little bit of tape and a piece of string.

this one was intended to be the faster one. i put all five paper clips on a sting and tied it so it hung down to act like a weight. i also folded up the plate and taped it together to make it smaller so it would fall faster.
