Walkalong Glider Made from Phone Book Paper

Step 3 Make 45 degree folds on leading and trailing edges

make a fold in the center of the trailing edge (trailing edge goes up). It is important that the fold not disturb the right angle fold you have just created at the ends of the strip in step 2. Turn the strip of paper upside down and fold the trailing edge, taking care the fold again does not disturb the right angle folds at the ends of the strip. You may need to reform the right angle folds at the ends of the strip which might have been disturbed by folding the leading edge with the strip upside down.

What a pointlessly beautiful object! I'm astounded with the simplicity and beauty of this little gem. Thanks so much for sharing it with the world!

My pleasure. I have to thank a student at a college in Wisconsin for bringing this design to my attention. I've used it ever since and hope to start everybody flying. The whole setup can be made from selected trash!
