// STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 01
Fold your sheet of A4 paper along the diagonal lines shown in DIG. 1
STEP 02
You should get the shape shown in DIG. 2
STEP 03
Open it out to give DIG. 3 and fold along the dotted line shown
STEP 04
Push in from the two points labelled A in DIG. 3 to give the shape in DIG. 4.
STEP 05
Now flatten out this form and fold along the dotted lines in DIG. 5. You should find you are folding in flaps created by the previous folds.
STEP 06
This should give you the form in DIG. 6. Again now fold along the dotted line which gives DIG. 7
STEP 07
Fold along the two dotted lines in DIG. 7 again this is just bringing in the two top flaps.
STEP 08
This should give you the form in DIG. 8
STEP 09
The triangular flap in the center (underneath the two flaps you just produced) should have two pockets. Tuck the flaps produced in step 7 into these pockets as shown in DIG. 9
STEP 10
You should be left with a piece of paper looking like DIG. 10
STEP 11
Now turn the plane over and fold along the lines labelled AC and BC in DIG. 11. These folds are very important if you want to produce a plane that flies absolutely level.
// HOW TO FLY
This plane flies well indoors but is useless outdoors as the slightest breeze will make it crash. Hold it very near its shorter edge (the front) underneath the plane. Throw with a pushing motion or overarm so that when you let go it will be level or very slightly tilted downwards. You should find that this plane will glide very slowly for quite a long distance indoors.
