Make the Stunt King Paper Airplane

This plane will perform amazing loops, corkscrews, and all kinds of stunts, while getting lots of distance, and still flying .

Steps

  1. Start with a rectangular piece of paper.
  2. Fold the upper-right hand corner of the paper to the almost bottom left hand corner.
  3. Fold the left corner of the paper to the bottom right corner (you can see the crease made in a previous step).
  4. Fold the plane in half.
  5. Unfold all the creases until you see creases on your paper that look like this.
  6. Push in the corners.
  7. After pushing in the corners, it should look like this.
  8. Fold the loose corners of the base to the top.
  9. Fold the top corner of the base, until you get something like you see in the picture.
  10. Turn over the plane.
  11. Fold it in half. Make sure the edges line up.
  12. Fold down the wings.
  13. Check the dihedral, fold the up elevators, and turn around the plane and you'll have completed the Stunt King.

Tips

  • When throwing the plane, throw it hard outdoors, but more moderately indoors.
  • While the plane is flying, make sure that it glides and falls at the same time so the plane will fly better.

Warnings

  • Do not use line paper, graph paper, or any paper with holes in them.
  • Do not use construction paper either because your plane will easily fall to the ground if you do so.
  • Line up the edges of the planes when putting the finishing touches on your paper airplane, because uneven wings spell disaster when testing it out.
  • Never make sloppy folds. Good folding means good flying.

Things You'll Need

  • 1 piece of paper (8.5 x11 inch or A4)
  • Printer paper will do, or you can try photocopy paper too
