Draw the Plans
Use the picture below as your plans. I believe if you right click the picture, you should be able to print it. if not, use the mesurements written on the picture.
Cut Out the Pieces
Cut out the pieces, like the picture below(picture 1). Take the main body and cut the tails and fold(Pictures 2-6).
Intake
Take the trapezoid piece and fold on the lines. Glue the intake to the body like shown in the picture. Cut off the excess
Tail
Fold the back of the body like the image below. Glue fin 1 and fin 2 to the back of the body. You can also tape the fins to the body. Refer to the picture.
Your Finished!
Your done! To use it, you can hold the body, and toss it near the ground like you were bowling. With some practice, you can make it glide up to 50 ft. Have fun!
