Nick's Paper Airplane Folding Instructions
|
|
|
- Firstly fold the sheet in half along the line shown in
DIG. 1 and then open it out again.
 DIG. 1
- Fold the two top corners in to the center line to give the form in
DIG. 2.
 DIG. 2
- Then fold the top large triangle over so that the two flaps formed in step 2 are underneath the large triangle. Your paper should now look like
DIG. 3.
 DIG. 3
- From the form in
DIG. 3
fold the two top corners into the center line again in such a way that you get the form in
DIG. 4.
 DIG. 4
- Now fold the small triangle up over the two flaps to give
DIG. 5.
 DIG. 5
- Fold along the center line so that the small triangle is on the underside of the plane on the outside along with the two flaps as shown in
DIG. 6.
 DIG. 6
- Fold along the line AB on
DIG. 6
then turn the plane over and do the same to the other side producing
DIG. 7.
 DIG. 7
- Fold along the line labelled AB on the diagram first one way and then the other creasing really well. Tuck the triangular shaped depression inbetween the two wings to produce
DIG. 8.
This stabilises the plane if you do not make it perfectly since to make it absolutely symmetrically is beyond my abilities.
 DIG. 8

Nick's Paper Airplane Flying Lesson
|
- This paper airplane is easy to throw. You should throw it overarm with the nose pointing slightly up while holding the plane about 1/4 of it's length from the front.
- Nicks paper airplane will fly a very long distance indeed. If you throw it outdoors and you have made it from a large piece of paper it can fly for hundreds of meters. If you throw it on a very hot day from an upper storey window it can catch thermals and then you're really talking!
