Final Paper Airplane Design Sea Glider

The success of this paper airplane depends on how you fold the wings in the last few steps. If it doesn't fly well, back up two steps and try folding the wings at a slightly different angle. Experiment until you find what works best for you. Throw gently for best results. If it stalls and flops down, add more weight to the front.
