Introduction: F-102 Origami Plane
I was browsing through an online origami site, and found a model that was a real pain to fold properly, yet looks pretty cool. All credit for design of model goes to Michael LaFosse here.
Step 1:
Start with a blank sheet of origami paper.
Step 2:
Flip to the blank side.
Step 3:
Fold in half.
Step 4:
Fold in half again.
Step 5:
Fold one corner to the center.
Step 6:
Fold that same corner to the crease you just made.
Step 7:
Now fold that second crease so that it is on top of the first.
Step 8:
Fold one side to the tip of your triangle, should now look like a long rectanglish thing.
Step 9:
Do the same for the other side.
Step 10:
Fold the corners up.
Step 11:
Tuck them inside.
Step 12:
Fold in half.
Step 13:
Move it so that the flat part is facing away from you while the thicker side is on your left.
Step 14:
Fold this in half. If you messed up at all, there should be something wrong in this step, go back and fix your step 9.
Step 15:
Unfold.
Step 16:
Fold the thicker side to the center.
Step 17:
Open up that fold and squish it flat.
Step 18:
Flip.
Step 19:
Fold the long side to the center.
Step 20:
Squish the bug flap down.
Step 21:
Fold one side to the center.
Step 22:
Do the same for the other side.
Step 23:
Tuck in one side.
Step 24:
Do the same for the other.
Step 25:
Flip.
Step 26:
Sorry, as I will say in a latter post, camera happened. Fold the triangle that was hanging down up, this should be the same for this step, even though the picture is from a latter point.
P.S: Again, sorry guys.
P.S: Again, sorry guys.
Step 27:
Notice the pencil mark? There should be a fold there, this is going to be the target of the next few folds (Tricky Part).
Step 28:
Fold one side out so that the long end has no folds, but the op touches that crease.
Step 29:
Do the same for the other side.
Step 30:
Step 31:
Flip.
Step 32:
WTF happened, you may ask. My camera happened, I could not find the pictures I took of folding those pieces in. You should fold the two outside flaps to the center, than tuck them under the top most piece.
Step 33:
Flip.
Step 34:
Fold the hanging triangle up.
Step 35:
Rotate to the left.
Step 36:
Fold in half.
Step 37:
OK, this part is the hardest part of it all, folding the larger section inside. Look at the note in the picture.
Step 38:
Step 39:

For flat bottom
For flat bottom
Step 40:
Step 41:
<optional>
Step 42:
Now it's flat! YAY!!!!
Step 43:
Here is your finished plane, it can fly, but is more of a model than anything else.
