Folding Symbols and Techniques

Here’s what the arrows mean:

Fold this way

Fold and reopen

Fold around behind

Flip the whole plane over

Most planes start with the paper face down. The drawings show the face in dark colors, and the back in lighter colors.

This is a valley fold; it looks a bit like a valley.

And this is a mountain fold.

Rudders are made with reverse folds. Start by creasing the paper along the fold line. Open out the plane slightly, reverse each of the folds, and re-crease them to make a neat rudder.

Most of the planes need a final tweak to really fly well. They will dive until you bend up the back edge of the wing slightly. Bending the wing keeps the nose up and lets the plane float on the air. But too much, and it will stall and crash. Add and subtract until the plane flies just right.
