New - real pictures of the airplane making, taken with my WebCam.

1. Start with a simple 8.5x11 inches paper (a feeder printer paper without the the edges with the holes)	2. Do the traditional midway fold
3. Fold two right angled triangle tward the main fold	4. (This is just how it looks after the folding, from now on there will be only images like this one)
5. Fold the big triangle on the top, twards you	6. And fold the top corners of the rectangle to the middle of the first fold, leaving the head of the big folded triangle uncovered (just look at the picture)
7. Now fold the head of the big, and now covered triangle, so it'll cover the #6 fold and (again, look at the picture)	8. Fold it to half, so the smooth side will be inside
9. Now fold along the black lines twards you (both sides), and fold the balancers (white lines at the bottom left of the pictue) twards the smooth side at about 45 degrees	10. Spread the wings, so the plane will look like this from the back

Flying tips:
Hold at the small triangle and trow softly, like you throw a dart (but softly). To make it turn, fold the balancers into opposite directions, one upwards, and one downwards, it'll turn to the downward aimed balancer direction. Both up gives you a looper, and bending it's tail inwards makes it go staright if you toss it to the floor at 45 degrees. Try to throw it down a cliff, or smoother down-going landscape, and with facial wind - it'll fly lots of lots of lots of time (my record is 3 min and 40 sec of just standing it the air!). Have a ball!

Another flying tip:
Throw hard at 90 degrees up and it'll flip and glide from there.
