1. Fold down the upper left corner so the upper left point hits the paper's right edge. When folded correctly, the top edge will line up with the paper's right edge. Unfold after the crease has been made.

2. Fold down the upper right corner so the left upper right point hits the paper's left edge. When folded correctly, the top edge will line up with the paper's left edge. Unfold after the crease has been made.

3. Flip the paper over, keeping the diagonal creases towards the top.

4. Fold the upper left and right points down so they hit the points created by the diagonal creases at the outside edges of the paper. When folded correctly, the new crease should go through the center point formed by the diagonal creases. Unfold after the crease has been made.

5. Flip the paper over, keeping the creases towards the top.

6. Fold the paper exactly in half along its long edge. Unfold after the crease has been made.

7. Pop the left and right horizontal crease up and into the paper bringing them in towards the middle. The two triangular flaps should lay flat against the plane's main body and a new flap should stick straight up out of the plane's main body.


8. Split the two layers of the flap, which is standing up, apart, bringing the two points at the rear of the flaps down towards the edges of the paper. Bring the point at the top, where the two flaps meet, straight down to the center line crease.

9. Rotate the plane around so the nose is pointed down and slightly to the left. Keep the flaps just created on the top side.

 10. Fold the right point of the right triangular flap down so it hits the point at the tip of the nose. When folded correctly, the left edge of the new flap will line up with the center line crease.
