Take some A4 (8 1/2" by 11") paper and lay it landscape. fold creasing hard along the center line then open it out again and fold along the two dotted lines in DIG. 1 I find that the steeper the angle the better the flight at the end. You will get the body in DIG. 2 note the fact that the flap folded over on top does not overlap the one beneath and that the shape of the plane is totally symmetrical.
DIG. 1
Now fold down the nose you are left with along the dotted line in DIG. 2 to give the body in DIG. 3.
DIG. 2
Fold along the two dotted lines in DIG. 3 forming the shape in DIG. 4 (having brought the two sides of the front edge to meet in the center line).
DIG. 3
Now fold along the center of the plane and fold down the two wings as indicated by the dotted lines in DIG. 4 to give you a plane looking like that at the top of the page. To improve flight the two wingtips at the very rear of the plane should be folded up totally.
DIG. 4
