1. Start with an A4 sheet of paper. The exact size is not important, it should be rectangular and not square.
2. Fold over the left hand corner as shown.
3. Crease
4. Result
5. Fold over the right hand corner.
6. Result
7. Fold over the right hand corner.
8. Crease
9. Fold down the center line from front to back.
10. Fold the resulting left hand tip up as shown.
11. Crease along the bottom edge.
12. Repeat the same procedure on the right section.
13. Fold the left hand point back.
14. Crease.
15. Mirror the same folds on the right panel.
16. Bend the left panel as shown.
17. Crease from back to front only 2/3 of the way.
18. Study photos 18 and 19 carefully. These folds are difficult to describe.
Try to duplicate them as shown in the photos.
19. Mirror the folds on the right.
20. Turn the plane over and fold the point back and crease as shown.
21. Turn the plane over again. The result should be similar to the photo.
22. Crease wing as shown.
23. Moisten the crease with your tongue. Do this slowly and carefully or you could
receive a painful paper cut on your tongue.
24. Carefully tear off strip of paper. Save the strip of paper because you are
going to need it to make the tail.
25. To make the tail, fold down the center of the strip of paper to form a trough.
26. Tear as shown to form control surfaces. The folds should be parallel
with the bottom of the trough.
27. Fold wings up.
28. Fold the right wing down as shown in photos 28 and 29. Take special
care to angle this fold in such a way so that the leading edge of the wing is slightly higher
than the trailing edge.
29. Study this photo and you will see that the fold is not exactly parallel with the trough at the
bottom but slightly angled as described in photo
30. At this point the plane should look like picture 30 above.
31. Bend the wingtips up.
32. Insert tail into slot under wing.
33. Finished at last!
34. Aircraft shown with landing gears down.
Note: the craft does not fly as well with the gears down.
35. It's time to fly your plane!
