NOTE: a 'small' sheet of paper refers to one cut down to 8.25 inches by 6 inches.

1. Take a sheet of white typing paper, and put it on the floor.
2. Then fold in half the long way
3. Take two edges and fold them towards the middle fold, and then fold the flaps there.
4. Take the two sides and fold them again into the middle fold.
5. Now take the two sides and fold them together, with the other folds inside
6. Fold the sides down so there is about 1 inch for you to hold.
7. Tape in the middle
8. Fold the edges (1 inch) of the wings either up or down. (this depends on what position the stablizer is suppose to be in.)
9. If your plane needs front flaps:
- make a 1/4 inch cut on both sides about 1 inch from the nose.
- make a 1/4 inch cut on both sides about a 1/2 inch behind the other cut.
- fold the region that was cut down
10. If your plane needs back flaps:
- make a pair of cuts 1/4 inches deep in the back of each wing
- fold the cut region up
11. If the design requires a paper clip:
- place the clip over the nose of the glider
