Step	Image	Instruction
0		Take a rectangular piece of paper.
1		Fold it in half along the shorter edge.
2		Unfold
3		Pick up the top right corner and make a diagonal fold so that the left edge aligns with the central crease.
4		Repeat it on the other side.
5		Pick up the top left diagonal edge and fold it again so that the edge touches the central crease.
6		Repeat the fold on the bottom left edge.
7		Pick up the new bottom left edge and fold it so that it aligns with the top left edge.
8		Fold the top flap towards the bottom, forming an crease parallel to the bottom edge and width of 1cm.
9		Flip the paper and repeat the steps on the other side.
10		To form the stabilizers, fold two centers from the top flap towards the center, making a crease parallel to the bottom edge.
11		Flip the paper and repeat the steps on the other side.
12		Now open up both the wings such that they form a continuous plane.
13		Unfold the stabilizers at the ends of the wings such that they are perpendicular to the wings.
