Descriptions to any steps:

Step 5:

mountainfold the Flap as shown and push it under the upper flap of it´s side to fix it

Step 6:

Repeat steps 4 and 5 mirror inverted.

Something i forgot in the file:

after step 2 fold the paper in half (left and right edges together) and unfold.

so you get a centerline to align the Flaps for the following steps.

it looks like it´s moulded in the wrong direction

And i think, a notecard it too heavy, i think it´s some type of thin cardboard.

i builded one now, but i used a paper frpm a notepad (a small, bright colored square sheet of paper) and at first i folded the top and bottom edge a little bit towards the center of the paper, so i got pockets for the stick after your folding steps.

and than i moulded it in the right direction.

for the right moulding shape look at commercial kites with a cross conneckto in the center, if they are assembled correctly.

If you lay it on your table with the string-side up, it must lay on it´s wingtips and it´s botton end and the centerline must be about 1 cm over the table with it´s top end.

I m going to make a tail for it.
