- Fold a piece of paper in half lengthways.
- Open it back out again. The crease makes a centre line to work with.
|
 |
- Fold the top corners diagonally down and to the middle of the page.
- The folded sections are triangle shaped and make a point at the
middle.
|
 |
- Fold the pointed triangular part down over its bottom edge.
- The flaps must be on the inside.
|
 |
- Take the top right hand corner and fold it down to the middle
of the page at a point 15 mm above the point of the triagular
part.
- Do the same for the top left hand corner.
|
 |
- Take the tip of the triangular part that pokes out from under
the flaps from the last step.
- Fold the tip up and over the flaps so that are held down.
|
 |
- Fold the page in half lengthwise.
- The tip that you folded in the last step must be on the
outside.
|
 |
- Fold down the wings.
- Make the fold at an angle to the bottom of the fuselage so that
the wings rise up at the rear of the plane (as viewed from the
side).
- Open the wings out and push them up so that they tilt up (as
viewed from the nose).
