The Smallest Paper Plane on Instructables.

Now Kiteman may have just posted his but...

Mine does happen to be smaller, like his the version shown is made from cigarette papers, except I used longer ones.

This plane will work with newspaper and very well with receipt paper since I designed it in work...

One king size cigarette rolling paper, these are swan ones, however ask if they have silver Rizla paper, this is the lightest paper sold in most shops, perhaps too light for this design...

Simply fold it in half lengthways.

Fold the sides down in to triangles, like the picture, make them as even as possible, they should meet directly at the tip, the plane wont fly properly unless these are perfect...

This one is a repeat of the last on the new triangles, again these will need to be even.

Now squeeze the plane flat and smooth the main folds down in preparation to fold the wings.

Now we fold the wings out, they come out at around 35-40^o from around half way down the body, if that's too confusing look at the final images of the plane and the picture below...

On the outer edges of the wings at the front make a little fold up of a few millimetres, this is important as it makes the wings rigid and keeps the plane from flopping in the air.

This plane requires a gentle touch, hold it in between the index and thumb, throw reasonably slow and a shallow downward angle, it should glide along quite nicely, if you're doing it from low down, throw it a bit fast and almost level, it should gain height on its own.

If you throw too fast it will simply throw itself in to a tumble, it's a mix of a dart and a glider.

Not sure about the folding technique I use, it helps give paper planes a lot more nose weight making them harder to stall.

On a final note if you want to make it smaller again you can slice the tails of the wings level with the back of the body, it will be slightly less stable but will be tiny...
