1. Start, as always , with a 8.5 inch on 11 inch paper.	2. Fold the paper to half, along it's long side.
3. Fold straight angle triangles on both side of the main fold.	4. Fold the left side so the diagonal line is on the main fold.
5. Unfold.	6. Fold the left half of the left side to half (wow, what a sentence!)
7. Fold on, use the line marking the middle of the left side as your pivot.	8. Fold on, use the line marking the quarter of the left side as your pivot.
9. Fold the right side so the diagonal line is on the main fold.	10. Unfold.
11. Fold the right half of the right side to half.	12. Fold on, use the line marking the middle of the right side as your pivot.
13. Fold on, use the line marking the quarter of the left side as your pivot.	14. Fold the rocket to half, deep middle line in.
15. Fold the wing fold, so the edge of the wing will be on the main fold (the bottom line of the plane).	16. Fold the other wing, the same way.
17. This is how it looks from behind.	OPTIONAL STEP: 18. For fancy flying (but shorter): fold little winglets as shown in the picture, it makes it spin around itself while flying.

Folding tips:
1. Make the creases as tight as possible, so the latter steps will be easier to fold.
2. On steps 13, 14, 15 and 16, you might notice there's a little extra paper on the back end of the plane, not showing in the drawings, but showing in the real pictures.
you can do 3 things with it: Ignore it, cut it off, so it will look like the drawing, or fold in this manner:
a.
b.
c.
As you can see, you open the major wing crease, fold the extras inwards, and refold the wings creases.

Flying tips:
Throw as hard as you can, 70 to 80 degrees up. This plane flies farther than most of the gliders, but it has less grace in it's flight. Lunch it ONLY in very open places, better without trees.
