Paper Airplane: The BAT x.3

Paper Airplane: The BAT x.3
This plane is one of the best planes I have ever made. It has its own unique design and overall look and appeal. It is both a glider and faster flier, depending on how well you make it.

WARNING: All of your folds for this plane must be precise and dead- on or else the plane won't fly right.

MATERIALS: 1 college ruled sheet of notebook paper (I use the lines to show exactly where to fold).

OMG, this was tricky to get right, but in the end, it is a great glider once you tweak some stuff.

That looks.. wrong, somehow. Those ears look like the whole thing should nose-dive.

Yet, it works (I just tried).

OK, it's not the best I've come across, but that's personal taste (I prefer gliders).
