glider

A couple more folds create the fuselage, tail, and winglets. Make these last steps any way you like, half the fun is varying the parameters to see how they affect the plane's looks and performance.

Short Story

Flying this glider almost always yields surprises. When I was about 7, one of my friends made one of these and went outside to throw it. The wind was quite favorable, and we ended up chasing it for what seemed like a full minute as it lazily dipped and bobbed some 20 feet above our heads. It finally came down in a field behind our neighbor's house -- across the street!
