Tips
- Heavier paper works better, especially because you can make stiff, crisp folds.
- If your finished plane stalls (goes straight up, stops, then tips straight down), try adjusting the wing width. Make the wing tips larger by refolding them, making a new crease about ¼ or ½ inch closer to the body. This should slightly reduce lift, and it will make forward flight more stable.
