Crease paper lengthwise
down the center and fold
corners inward.
A
Fold corner X to point X
and corner Y to point Y.
This will create guide
creases in the paper.
A
Fold corner X along the
crease you just made
and do the same with
corner Y.
B
Your paper should look
like this. Fold the upper
tip down along the
dotted line.
C
Fold airplane in half and then fold
each side down along the red
dotted line. Point Z to point Z.
D
Fold each side
down at the mid-
point to create
the wings.
When test flying, give your plane a
steady toss at about eye level.
Launching indoors requires the plane
be flat. Outdoor launchings can be
thrown with more force and upward.
E

Fold triangular-shaped
area down.
B
Fold corners inward
and end piece up.
C
Your airplane should
look like this.
D
Fold airplane in half and then fold
each side down at the midpoint to
create the wings.

Make your creases sharp.
Roll a pencil across creases
to flatten them.
Make sure your plane has
perfect symmetry. Everything
on the left side must look just
like everything on the right
side.
Check the dihedral angle
— that's the angle wings
sprout from the base. Wings
and body should form a slight
Y. Flat is not good.
