This paper plane is one of the easiest planes I learned to fold as well as being one of the best performing.

Hope you enjoy!

look at the plane from the rear

make sure your planes wings point slightly upwards for maximum flight performance

Tweaking

If your plane isnt flying as it should then the best way to fix it is:

-fly it a couple of times to identify the problem

-look on your plane to see where that problem is originating from

-fix it

-fly it again

Sometimes planes just do not cooperate no matter what so you might end up folding one again
