 This paper airlpane is not an airplane - it's a rocket! the harder you throw it the longer it flies, it is also being launched as a rocket, at 80-70 degrees up.
This is the printer friendly version of the instructions page, for the normal version, click HERE.

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.

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.
