This cool plane will have you turning upside down! Join in on the fun as paper airplane guru, Michael LaFosse, shows the A-TV gang how to make a terrific glider that makes fantastic loops and flies like a champion!

2 pieces of square paper, 4-8 inch, color side up

SOME PAPER AIRPLANES HAVE POINTY TIPS …SO BE REALLY CAREFUL WHEN YOU THROW THEM INDOORS AND OUT. IT’S ALWAYS BETTER TO HAVE A BUDDY…SO TRY NOT TO ATTEMPT THESE PROJECTS ALONE.

  1. Paper # 1: Fold in half, square-wise. Paper #2: Fold in half, diamond-wise white side up.
  2. Fold the triangle in half, and re-open to a triangle.
  3. Open paper # 1 to see valley fold, and open paper # 2 to see fold in triangle.
  4. Put paper # 1 into paper # 2 so crease lines are up.
  5. Keep triangle on bottom and grab bottom and roll up about 1 inch.
  6. Fold in half so wings match up flat.
  7. Keep fold edge at top and small corners on the right.
  8. Fold about 2/3 up from the bottom straight up. Repeat on the other side.
  9. Push wings up into a “y” shape.

This plane is more aerobatic than the DC-3. It's the jet for me.
