neat rubber band launched balsa and paper planes in Japan

Spent the morning at the park with my 2 year old, who is utterly obsessed with anything that could be an airplane. Came across some guys playing with bamboo and paper planes that they launched with a few normal rubber bands strung together. One of the gentleman, apparently spends his time teaching people to make them.

Pretty amazing, they were a lot like a rubber band plane with a propeller but balanced incredibly well and after launching them in the morning breeze got 300 or 400 feet out of them. Pretty neat. The gentlemen took an in interest in my obviously interested son (and his dad). He made a simpler version, a glorified paper plane, for my son on the spot. He launched it with only a few normal bands and a stick and got something like 200 feet out of it.
