Cicada Paper-air-plane

Cicada Paper-air-plane
I have named this the cicada plane because the nose resembles a cicada! When adjusted correctly it will fly in an eradic manner just like a cicada would in real life, it can even fly upside down! The front 'legs' double as canard wings as well as landing gear! This plane promises to impress you as well as your friends!

Hey. um it was really confusing and I couldn't get past step 3. maybe you could make one and get someone to film it so we can see what you are actually doing. Thanks !!!

Wow, this is a cool plane. Step 3 was a little hard to understand, but it must have been pretty hard to explain. You did a good job!
