How To Make The Starhawk Paper Airplane by OrigamiAirEnforcer
Fast, long range, equipped with landing gear and very compact, the Starhawk is a quick, nimble little paper airplane. Its simplicity and small size make it a wonderful little plane, both in the air and while handling it on the ground.

The Starhawk is a little plane with quite a bit of ancestry. It uses design elements used by the popular Spirit and the HyperSpectre. The former is a fast, stylish little stunt plane that can do loops and fly far, while the latter is a quick plane with landing gear and provisions for numerous additional surfaces. As far as comparisons go against full scale aircraft, the inspiration for the Starhawk can be regarded as the wonderful Douglas A-4/A4D Skyhawk of the early 1950s. The concept of simplicity used on the Skyhawk was used in designing the Starhawk.

TAA USAF Designation: A116-1

I would highly suggest it. Even over a year later, the Starhawk remains one of my favorite airplanes.

im confused as what to do with pictures #6 & 7... do you cut it off or something? is there a video i could watch to make this? and by the way, this is an epic design

I have added image notes to clarify the step. No cutting occurs on this step beyond that seen in pictures 3 and 4. Currently, there is no video for the Starhawk or any other of my designs. And thank you! Hopefully you will be able to construct this airplane now. :)
