Make the Ultimate paper plane...
You will need:
What to do
The Ultimate
1. Lay the A4 sheet of paper in front of you portrait way up.
2. Take the 2 top corners and fold into the middle so they meet and at the same time make a point at the top (arrow shape), flatten the folds.
3. Fold the point back on itself towards you the length of the arrow point and press the fold.
4. Fold the point that is facing you over so that it is pointing away from you (about an inch) and press, this will make a small triangle.
5. Take one of the corners furthest away and bring it to the centre of the small triangle, tucking it underneath, press the fold. Do the same on the other side. 6. Fold the paper in half with the tucked in folds on the outside. Press the fold.
7. Take 1 diagonal fold and fold it to meet the long straight edge. Press the fold. Turn the plane over and do the same on the other side.
8. There will be a perfect place to hold your plane underneath where the tucked in paper is, hold it between your thumb and finger, launch your plane and watch it fly.
9. Make them with different coloured papers and race with your friends, or just have fun seeing which colour flies the furthest.
