1. Fold the upper left point down so it hits the lower right point.

2. Rotate the paper around so the crease created previously is on the left. Fold the top down so it hits the bottom point.

3. Unfold all of the flaps created previously so the paper is completely open and flat on the working surface.

4. Rotate the paper around so the upper point of the long diagonal fold is to the left. Fold the top point down so it hits the bottom point.

5. Rotate the paper around to the crease created previously is on the right. Fold the top point down so it hits the bottom point.

6. Unfold all of the creases created previously. The paper should be completely open and flat on the working surface.

7. Fold the paper exactly in half about its long edge. Unfold after the crease has been made.

8. Pop the left and right sides of the paper up, bringing them in towards the middle. The upper left and right points should come together to form a new flap sticking straight up from the base of the paper. Two new creases will be formed.

9. Split the layers of the flap apart bringing the points out towards the lower left and right corners of the paper. Bring the point at the top of the flap down to the center of the bottom edge of the paper and press the fold flat.

10. Fold all of the top-most layers of the paper over. The left and right points of the new crease should be at the left and right points on the edges of the paper.

11. Fold the tip of the nose down so the top point formed at the middle of the paper by the existing flaps.

12. Flip the plane over and rotate it around so the nose is to the left.

13. Fold the plane exactly in half about the existing center line crease.

14. Rotate the plane around so the nose is to the right. Make a crease for the first wing flap. The new crease should be parallel to the bottom edge of the fuselage and about one finger width up from the bottom.

15. Flip the plane over so the nose is to the left. Make a crease for the second wing flap. Be sure to line up the wing flaps for good balance and flying characteristics.

16. Open up the wing flaps and adjust the wing angles so they are even. Set the dihedral angle flat or slightly up. Make sure the canards are tightly creased.

How to THROW - Launch gently at a slight up angle or release to float from a high place. The Chestnut usually needs some up elevator added to the tail corners to counteract the weight of the nose section. Bending the canards upward tightens them and changes the flight path even more.

1. Fold the sheet exactly in half by bringing the short edges together. Make the crease and then unfold.

2. Bring the top edge down to the crease just formed to make a new crease parallel to the one just created. Unfold after making the crease.

 3. Repeat the process with the bottom edge. Bring it up to the first crease created and make a new crease parallel to the first. Unfold the paper after making the crease. The sheet should now be divided evenly into quarters.

4. Position the sheet so that the creases you have made are vertical.

5. Form a new crease by bringing the upper right hand corner of the sheet down. The left end of this new crease should hit the upper left corner exactly. The upper right corner should lie directly over the right-most vertical crease line.

 6. Open the flap you created and make an identical one by bringing down the upper left corner. As before, the right end of the new crease should hit the upper right corner exactly and the upper left corner should lie directly over the left-most vertical crease.

7. Open the flap you created and turn the sheet over from left to right. The diagonal creases just formed should be toward the top.

8. Make a new crease by bringing down the top edge of the paper. This new crease should be parallel to the edge of the paper and go exactly through the meeting point of the two diagonal creases created earlier. Open the flap to expose the new crease.

9. Turn the sheet over from right to left and prepare to reverse fold some of the flaps.

 10. Fold down the top flap again but this time bring up the edges of the sheet where the crease meets them. All the creases are in the proper direction so the flaps should come in naturally as shown. Press all creases down flat.

How to Make the Panther Paper Airplane

Looking very much like the real stealth bomber, this craft flies long distances in silence as a stealth craft must.

Based on a design by Kunihiko Kashara

Difficulty: Moderate

Paper Size: Letter

1. Fold the paper along the long edge. Leave about one finger width at the bottom edge.

2. Fold the paper left point down so the left edge of the paper lines up with the bottom edge of the top layer. Unfold after the crease has been made.

3. Fold the upper right point down so the right edge of the paper lines up with the bottom edge of the top layer. Unfold after the crease has been made.

4. Unfold the paper and lay it flat on the working surface.

5. Pop the left and right horizontal creases up, bringing the points at the ends of the creases in and down towards the center of the paper. Press the fold down and flat.

6. Fold the topmost layer back so the edges at the top of the paper line up. At the same time bring the points at the left and right edges up and in toward the middle of the paper. Two new creases are formed on each side.

7. Fold the bottom point of the lower triangle up so it hits the top point of the upper triangle. Fold about the existing crease between the two triangles. Two new creases are created as the fold is pressed flat.

8. Fold the bottom point of the lower triangle up so it hits the upper triangle. Fold about the existing crease between the two triangles. Two new creases are created as the fold is pressed flat.

9. Fold down the upper left point which was previously folded up. This creates a new crease in the top-most layer.

10. Same thing on the right. Fold down the upper right point which was previously folded up. This again creates a new crease in the top-most layer.

11. Fold the top layer on the nose down so the top edge hits the creases between the two triangles.

12. Fold the layer at the very top of the nose down over the top of the previous fold. The folded edge comes down on the top of the previous fold about halfway down.

13. Flip the paper over so all the flaps is underneath and orient with the long edge to the right.

14. Fold the plane exactly in half. Make sure the wing flaps are lined up for good balance.

15. Flip the plane over again so the nose is to the left and the central crease is at the top.

16. Make a crease for the first wing flap. The right point of the crease should be at the base of the fuselage and the left point should be about one half way down the left most edge.

17. Flip the plane over so the first wing flap is underneath and the nose points to the left.

18. Make a crease for the second wing flap. Be sure to line up the wing flaps for good balance.

19. Fold down the top wing flap. The left point of the crease should be less than half way up from the bottom edge of the fuselage and the right point should be perpendicular to the right edge.

20. Flip the plane over again so the first wing flap is underneath and the nose points to the left.

21. Make a crease for the second wing flap. Be sure to line up the wing flaps for good balance.

22. Open up the wing flaps and adjust the wing angles so they are even. Adjust the dihedral angle so that the wings are flat or slightly down. If the dihedral angle is up the plane may fly wildly or even upside down.

1. Fold down the upper right corner so the upper right points hits the lower left point.

2. Rotate the paper around so the creased side is on the left and the paper opens up on the right side. Fold the top point down so it hits the bottom point. When folded correctly, all o the outside edges should line up.

3. Unfold all of the creases just made so the paper is completely open and is flat on the working surface.

4. Rotate the paper around so the longest diagonal crease goes up from left to right across the paper. Fold the top point (which does not have a crease going to it) down so it hits the bottom point.

5. Rotate the paper around so the creased edge is to the left and the paper opens up on the right. Fold the top point down so it hits the bottom point. When folded correctly, all of the outside edges should line up.

6. Unfold all of the creases you just made so the paper lays flat on the working surface.

7. Flip the paper over and rotate it around so the long edge of the paper is horizontal .

8. Fold the paper exactly in half along its long edge. Unfold after the crease has been made.

9. Flip the paper over and rotate it around so the short edge of the paper is horizontal.

10. Fold the paper exactly in half along its short edge. Unfold after the crease has been made.

11. Rotate the paper around so the long edge is at the top.

12. Pop the horizontal creases up and fold in and down towards the bottom of the paper. The hinge for the fold should be about the diagonal creases with points at the lower left and right corners of the paper.

13. Fold the points at the top of the flaps sticking up from the plane's main body, out and down towards the wing tips. Press the point at the tip, where the flaps meet, straight down to the center line crease.

14. Fold the nose down so the point at the tip of the nose hits the bottom edge of the paper. Be sure to keep the center line creases lined up for good balance.

15. Fold the first three layers of the plane back and down. Two new creases should be created as hinges on each triangle between the layers. Be sure to keep the horizontal center line creases line up on the top-most triangles.

16. Fold the top edge of the paper back and down so the top edge hits the horizontal center line crease.

17. Rotate the plane around so the nose is pointing to the left. Fold the  plane in half about the existing center line crease. Be sure to line up the wing flaps for good balance.

18. Make a crease to fold the aft wing tip over. When folded correctly, the newly formed triangular flap should be about the same size as the triangle uncovered by the fold. The size of the wing tip fold is not too important.

19. Flip the plane over so the wing tip just folded is underneath.

20. Fold the second wing tip back and down so it lines up with the first wing folds is not too important. However, making them the same size is important.
