- Take the top-right corner of the page in your hand and fold it
diagonally down and align it on the left edge of the page.
- The crease should go from the top-left corner to the right edge
of the page.
- Open the page out again

- Take the top-left corner of the page and fold it diagonally
down and align it on the right edge of the page.
- This make a diagonal crease going the opposite way to the
one in the first step.
- Leave the page folded.

- You have a triangular shaped flap that was folded over in the
previous step.
- Take the bottom-right corner of the triangular flap and fold it
over onto the bottom-left corner of the triagular flap.
- Crease the paper vertically from the point where the two
creases from the first two steps intersect.
- The page will be three-dimensional now. After the next
step it will lie flat again.

- Take what was originally the top-right corner of the page and
fold it down to where the right edge of the page comes
diagonally inwards.
- Make a vertical crease in this new flap similar to the crease
you made in the last step. This new crease must be next to the
previous crease

- Take the bottom-left corner of the triangular section at the
top of the page. Fold it up to the apex of the triangle.
- Take the bottom-right corner of teh triangular section and fold
it up to the apex, too.
- The triangular section should now be diamond shaped.

- Take the left corner of the diamond and fold it to the centre
line of the diamond. The lower-left edge of the diamond should line up
on the centre line.
- Unfold the left corner so that a crease remains.
- Take the right corner of the diamond and fold it to the centre
line of the diamond. The lower-right edge of the diamond should line up
on the centre line.
- Unfold the right corner so that a crease remains.

- Take the left corner of the diamond and fold it to the centre
line of the diamond. This time the upper-left edge of the diamond
should line up on the centre line.
- Unfold the left corner so that a crease remains.
- Take the right corner of the diamond and fold it to the centre
line of the diamond. This time the upper-left edge of the diamond
should line up on the centre line.
- Unfold the right corner so that a crease remains.

- Take the left corner of teh diamond, for the third time.
- Raise the corner away from the page and as you do so pinch it
above and below so that a crease forms from the corner to the centre
of the diamond.
- This crease and the two creases you made before will bring the
corner to a point directly over the centre of the diamond. The figure
shows this point marked with an A.
- Do the same with the right corner of the diamond.

- Take the apex of the page and fold it backwards.
- The crease you make runs horizontally and the points marked
A in the previous figure point up.

- Fold the page in half lengthwise.
- The side of the page with the extra width-wise flap of paper must
be on the outside of the fold.

- Fold down the wings.
- Make the fold parallel to the bottom of the fuselage.
- Open the wings out and push them up so that they tilt up (as
viewed from the nose).
|

- Fold up some 10 mm flaps at the outside edges of the wings.
- Open the flaps out so that they are at right angles to the wings.
