This is my most favorite paper plane because it is TOTALLY random. Its random cuz it'll fly differently each time you make another one. It doesn't really fly like most paper planes that fly straight, no this one is different. It can fly high up in the sky and then zip a couple of centimeters over the ground. It can fly in loops and circles and it might even fly right back to where your hand is. Sometimes it acts like there's a pilot inside cuz MOST of the times if you throw it at the ground it'll zip up in time to miss it and (even though i'm not saying you should do it) if you throw it hard directly at somebody's face MOST of the time it'll go a couple of inches close and shwosh it'll fly over or around it at the last minute (and if it does hit the person, it won't hurt). My uncle showed my how to make it many years ago and its the best.

It is recommended to look at all the steps to making this and then do it with the steps cuz it might be a little confusing.

Pic 1 - Get a blank piece of paper (of course...)
Pic 2 - Fold the top left corner (the picture is supposed to be turned so that my hand is facing up sry) of the paper down so that it makes a point at the top right corner and that it lines up with the other half.
Pic 3 - What it should look like

Pictures are very blurry and hard to see, Nice flight video though.

Also, this exact design was posted a few days ago as "The Flatplane".

I think fatcattr856's instructable is more detailed and shows this plane more clearly.
