Intro: World-record Breaking Paper Airplane

this is a simplified version of a ariplane that once held the world record.

STEP 1: Fold in Half

Fold your peice of paper in half.
then unfold.

STEP 2: Fold Diagonaly

fold your peice of paper like this.
Make sure the corner is touching the line of the line made by your previouse fold. also, make sure the fold folds the corner EXACTLY in half

STEP 3: Fold

Fold it horizontaly, right where the corner is

STEP 4: Again

do it again and again until it is like this

STEP 5: Wings

fold one of the wings, leaving about 2 cm. then repeat

STEP 6: Almost Done

Give a general description of the Stepd the corner, and so that the small wing is lined up with the side
Note: if not done perciseley, the plane will spiral out of control, dive strait down, of flip upside-down and glide very short
Launching: shoot up 30 degrees as hard as you can, with minimum wind.

good instructable but... you should have flat tips at the end of the plane like paper-pro's instructable. you have the fake design. one that has been confused with the real one. plus this one barely flies. one again nice instructable easy to follow too.

well i like the design but it does not fly very well, as soon as i let go it go's straight for while while then turns and nose dives. try adding stabilizers, which are slits at the back of the paper airplane. they help striaghten the flight path! cool though
