I've been making variations of this one fore years. One has a tail, but it is cut from the bottom strip of Step 3 (fold to make the square, the cut of the bottom part).

i was all exited at first, but any plane hat takes twelve steps to complete isn't worth my school time, maybe at home though

Oct 21, 2007. 6:14 PMcstrike pwner says:

Jul 25, 2007. 7:03 AMhedgiehog says:
i beilive that the record wasn't flown in wind or from a 5 floor building
Sep 24, 2007. 1:54 PMpowerfool says:
To make this is record-breaking on its own... :-p It's very nice, you just need to improve a little bit your instructions, eg. in Step 4, where is point D? Also you could have a few more pictures, not so much close up....
Oct 5, 2007. 6:04 PMfraseyboy says:
I might try making this later. Hey, next time you do an instructable Can You Please Not Write Like This, Where You Capitalise The First Letter Of Every Word? It's Very Annoying... Thanks :)

Mar 7, 2007. 2:22 AMmechainsanity says:

yes it's homemade, but a paper airplane isn't really a gift and it annoys the shit out of me when people copy things. no i didn't flag you

Why are you capitalizing the first letter of every word? This isn't the title of a book.
