The Omicron, an awesome paper plane!

The Omicron, an awesome paper plane!
The Omicron is a plane invented by me and my friend Ben (http://www.youtube.com/TheXFoRZ)
It is a lot like this plane http://www.zurqui.com/crinfocus/paper/air-bld1.html  but i think our version flies smoother and stalls less, it is also easier to make as there isn't the fiddly bit in the nose.

All you need is a sheet of paper and possibly scissors if you are not comfortable ripping straight

start by folding the top left corner down into the right side, making a point, open it out and then fold the top right corner down and open it again to make a cross on the paper, refold the left corner and fol the tip back up upon itself (look at the picture). 
next fold the first crease to make the shape shown in the third picture, fold the right tip down and fold up the flap as before.

I learned this back in the 80's from a Korean student. I seemed to be the only other one to know anything about the "bird." Glad to see multiple posts on the same plane! Thanks for the variation(s).

Very good for a first instructable! The picture quality was also very good too. Adding a page detailing the materials might make it even better!

Anyway, keep up the good work! :)
