Paper Plane I Invented #2

IMG_9105.JPG
i have designed several planes due to boredom during high school classes
this was my second
it uses standard 8.5"/11"
this is a very fast, very accurate, very durable plane
i spent 10 minutes throwing it a wall as hard as i could without damaging it enough to change flight performance
this plane is extremely easy to throw
this plane is slightly more complicated than the average paper plane but MUCH simpler than my other designs

first fold in half the long way and unfold

fold half of front edge to middle like most plane designs
BUT DO NOT CREASE
hold finger to mark the point that the corner reaches
release fold
but keep your finger in place

fold intersection of front edge and central creace to point marked by finger
crease only a small bit near the middle
unfold

fold front corners to the intersection of the creases

IMG_9089.JPG
fold intersection of front edge and central creace to intersection of two creases
crease only a small bit near the middle
unfold

fold at intersection of first two creases such that the central crease overlaps it's self

fold corners to intersection of central crease and the crease made in step 5

fold along central crease
fold wings down such that the edge of the wings runs along the central crease

undo the folds that brought the wings down
invert along what was the front of the plane before step 7

fold the wings back down and squish the bit sticking up
you are done
