F-14 Tomcat Paper Airplane

Almost everyone out there has at one time or another folded and flown paper airplanes.  That's because they are simple (most of them) and fun to fly.  This model is based on a design I got from a book that I moded.  It looks incredibly cool, and, with proper tuning, can be an excellent flier as well.  Note: Precision is a MUST.  I have made slightly slopy versions, and they do not fly well at all.  (Sorry for the bad picture quality.  I had it set to the wrong setting.  I'll be sure to use the right setting in future Instructables.)

Step 1 Materials/ Step One

Materials:
1 - 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper
a roll of double sided tape (optional)
1 - pair of scissors (optional)
 
Step One:
Orient sheet of paper to portrait (tall way)

I have to give everyone at Instructables a big thank you. Especially to Origami Air Enforcer. Seeing all of those plane designs made me decide to join Instructibles and post an 'ible for the F-14. Thanks to everyone I have apparently won 15 months free Pro Membership. Again, a huge thanks to everyone!

Thanks! I know Step Eleven is a bit hard, but that's the step that makes it a unique plane.

Very good for a first instructable! :)

I have seen airplanes made very similar to this, but this airplane does have a unique configuration, owing to its fin arrangement.
