About: I am someone who mass produces paper airplanes and am always developing new designs. I post regular updates on Twitter. Follow me there to keep up with the latest developments!

The Bear is an interesting paper airplane with a tri-tail configuration.





TAA USAF Designation: F84-1

Step 1: Materials

Required:
1 piece of 8.5 by 11 inch Paper
Tape
Scissors
Optional:
Pencil

Step 2: Begin Folding

Take your paper and fold it along its length. 

Step 3: Continue

Fold the corners into the center. Then pull the nose back and down.

Step 4: Security Fold

Fold the corners into the center, though not all the way. Repeat on the other side and then fold the small flap below them up over it.

Step 5: Fold the Wings

From their previous position fold the airplane in half. Then fold the wings approximately 3/4 in. up from the bottom. Repeat on the other side. 

Step 6: Cut the Vertical Stabilizers

Cut the 3 vertical stabilizers out of the wing and fuselage. Each should be 3/4 in. tall. Allign them pefectly with the back of the wing.

Step 7: Tape the Airplane

Tape the plane's front and back together in the cited places in the picture.

Step 8: Flight

The Bear is a slow dart and should be launched like a dart, pitched down.
