Asymmetric folding yields twelve inch wingspan from eleven inch sheet of paper.\u00a0 Three-finger grip flip yields thirty to forty foot flights.<\/p>\n

Step 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

Take an 8-1\/2 x 11 inch sheet of paper and make four marks labeled A B C D around the edge.\u00a0 A and C are 1-1\/2 inches from the edge, B and D are 1 inch from the edge.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Flip the paper over and duplicate the marks; you should be able to see through the paper.\u00a0 This will make it easier to line up the marks when you fold the paper.<\/p>\n

Step 2<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bring B to A and C to D, and holding the paper in place press the fold to a crease.\u00a0 Be careful and don’t let the paper shift while you press it flat.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now fold in half\u00a0 (a mountain fold),<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

flip over, and fold each side in to the center.\u00a0 The plane from the front is a W.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

Unfold and lay flat.\u00a0 It should look like step 2, with three folds.\u00a0 Now fold in half the long way so the leading edge meets the centerline.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Open this back up and fold the leading edge about 1\/4 inch in.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

You will be folding this over and over until you reach the fold you made in the picture.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fold up the plane into a W again and press the folds hard to tighten them up.<\/p>\n

Unfold the plane and you are ready to fly.\u00a0 Curl up the trailing edge tips to provide a little up elevator.\u00a0 Adjust the wingtips up or down to balance the flight.\u00a0 Flatten out the W a lot and the glides will be lengthy.\u00a0 Some tape on the overlaps and leading edge fold also helps.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Your middle finger is below the centerline at the back of the plane, and the two adjacent fingers grip the plane.\u00a0 Flip your wrist to launch.<\/p>\n

For legal-sized paper 8-1\/2″ x 14″, use 1-3\/4 inch as A and 7\/8 inch as B.\u00a0 This flies with great authority.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
