4. Step 2. Fold along the blue line, so you fold the paper longways exactly
in half. Once you've got it perfect, open it back up again. You will use the
crease you've created at the centre line as a guide fold.

5. Step3. Now fold along the blue lines so that the flat edge at the top of
the paper exactly meet the centre line. You should aim for something that
looks exactly like the diagram on the right.

6. Step 4 Now fold along the blue lines again, so you get something that
looks like the diagram on the right. Try to make sure that the diagonal edges
of the folds you created in the previous step, now exactly meet with the
centre line.

7. Step 5 Now fold the tip of the plane back 10.5cm. Ensure
that the tip of the plane meets the centre line exactly.

8. Step 6 On the top flap of paper that you've just created, fold back again
according to the dimensions shown. Aim for something that looks like the
diagram on the right.

9. Step 7 Now fold back along the centre line. Make sure all the folds
you've created in the previous steps are on the outside, not the inside. You
should get something that looks like the diagram on the right.

10. Step 8 Now we're going to fold down the wings. As you will see in the diagram
on the left, the fold starts at an easily identifiable point where the folds cross near the
nose of the plane. At the rear end, the fold should be about 2.9 cm up from the base
of the fuselage. The means that the back of the fuselage will be slightly higher than
the front.

11. Step 9 Now fold the wing down on the other side, according to the
same dimensions. Once you're done, you should get something that looks like
this.
12. Step 10 Now fold the wings straight so that they are
roughly horizontal.
13. Step 11 Now we're going to fold down the fins. Place the plane on it's
back and fold the fins according to the dimensions shown, making sure that
they fall exactly parallel with the fuselage.

14. Step 12 Flip the plane over... you're almost done. Rejoice!
However, remember almost all paper aeroplanes need
calibrating before they fly correctly.
