You'll dig this big flying wing that stays aloft for ages.
Don't let the name fool you, this wedge shaped wing will plow through the air in a long, slow and stable, gentle glide.
Paper Airplane Folding Instructions
1. Fold one corner down to the other side. Unfold.
2. Repeat on the other side and unfold again.
3. Fold one side over and line up the edge with the crease made in the previous step.
4. Fold the other side over along the same crease.
5. Fold the top down along the existing creased line.
6. Fold the entire airplane in half down the middle. Unfold.
7. Fold the two upper edges in to the center line, but leave them about 1mm short of the center. This small gap will make the next step easier.
8. Unfold the prior step and then accordion fold the sides into the middle and press flat.
9. Fold the center flap under and tuck it inside to lock the flaps in place.
10. Fold the paper airplane in half again. Press everything flat.
11. Fold out one wing along the suggested line. The fuselage should get wider towards the back.
12. Fold out the other wing to match.
Throw this airplane at a slightly upward angle. It needs a big space to soar around in, so try it outdoors. It works well in the wind and is a very reliable coaster.
