I'm consistantly around 112. I haven't got it over 113 except for that one time. Now I'm trying to get it that far again... frustrating yet addictive!

Follow xcrunner's tip of pulling the plane all the way back at the height where the dark band is near to the top quarter of the screen. Then move your mouse out of the "play area" in your browser and reentering on the other side of the line near the crown molding at the bottom quarter of the screen.

At least for me, that consistently just clears the top of the window and flys 111m.

Aha!

I found a different pair of spots, that are consistently between 113 and 114. Can't break 114 yet, though.

The programmers say the theoretical max is 120. I can't break 115, though.

Tuck the plane all the way into the top left corner, take the mouse all the way outside the game area, touch it back into the game area on the far right an inch or so above the floor molding. There are bands of light and dark in the shading that make it easy to remember which spot worked best, so you can fine-tune where you bring the mouse back in for best results.

I also got some really good results from other spots on the left, between the top of the screen and the ceiling edge.

evoldog is on a distinguished road
Paper Airplane

My best was 117.962m and ranked me #12 on the planet. My rating is currently #168.


Where did the "120m theoretical max" info come from? I emailed the site a while back for info and never fot a response.

When I hit #12 I guessed the record was probably 120-125m.

No matter what i do, I can only get just under 114 now.
