Tips for Making This Paper Airplane
Paper:
Use a lightweight printer paper for this plane. Because it is light and will not weigh the plane down.
Don’t use construction paper or cardstock with this design since it would be too heavy.
Folding Tips:
Make sure you crease the paper well on each fold. And folding on a hard surface will make your creases easier.
Accurate folds will make your plane look and fly better.
