I have also a prototype going. It is constructed to teach people about 
the meaning of LibreOffice. Give it a try.

===========================================================

Sent to Ben:

I worked with the plane and after playing around with the design I ended 
up with a "learn about LO as you build and get involved" plane design. I 
uploaded the design here: 
www.parentreprise.com/images/LibreOffice/LibreOffice_PaperPlane1D.odg 
and the construction directions are as follows (I borrowed some of the 
wording from your directions):

==================

Printed paper plane page should face down in front of you before 
following the instructions:

1. Fold the page toward yourself along its long axis, shown as line 1. 
Flatten the paper again, to leave a crease.
2. Fold the top corners to the center line crease you just created. 
(Lines 2a and 2b.)
3. Fold the now-triangular top section of the page toward yourself along 
line 3.
4. Fold toward yourself along lines 4a and 4b.
5. Fold its triangular nose back toward the far side of the paper along 
line 5. (Line 5 is on the paper behind the piece you will fold–use its 
edges to determine where you’ll fold the triangular nose.) Tuck the 
flaps created by lines 4a and 4b under the triangular nose formed by line 5.
6. Fold the far side into triangles along lines 6a and 6b.
7. Fold both sides of the paper plane at the center line 1.
7. Fold away from yourself along lines 7a and 7b.
8. Fold toward yourself along lines 8a and 8b to form triangular 
stabilizers.
9. To launch your new plane, hold it from the back and push gently 
forward while pointed very slightly down.
