The OAE TA164-1 SkyCub is a simple, stable primary trainer paper airplane intended for introducing new aviators to paper airplane operations. The TA164-1 was developed by OrigamiAirEnterprises as an alternative to the OAE TF115-1 Apprentice and OAE TF225-1 Turbo Cadet. The SkyCub's structure is similar to that of the OAE A106-1 Harrier and the OAE A106-2 Super Harrier.
