Collins-Lock Glider2

25 folds

When it comes to relaxed, long-lasting glides, the Easy-Breezy Floater takes the crown. 🏆 This plane is all about leisurely, smooth flights with minimal effort. It’s got a built-in “collins lock” that ensures stable wings and a fuss-free flight path. If you’re looking for the kind of plane that practically flies itself, this is your champion. Great for beginners or anyone looking to chill and watch a plane float like it’s on a cloud.

Start with a rectangular piece of paper.
1
Pick up the top left corner and make a diagonal fold with the crease starting from the bottom left corner. Unfold.
2
Pick up the bottom left corner and make a diagonal fold similar to the previous step. Unfold.
3
Flip the paper.
4
Fold it in half along the shorter edge creating a horizontal crease.
5
Unfold.
6
Flip the paper again.
7
Pick up the left edge and make a fold such that the edge passes through the intersection point of the two diagonal creases. Unfold.
8
Fold the paper such that the intersection point of the newly created crease and the horizontal crease touches the point of intersection of the two diagonal creases. This will create a new parallel crease between the crease created in the previous step and the intersection point of the two diagonal creases.
9
The previous step leaves a small strip on the left. Tuck that strip backwards. Check out the video starting at 3:10 min for detailed instructions.
10
Pick up the top left corner and make a diagonal fold such that the left edge aligns with the central horizontal crease.
11
Repeat the fold for the bottom left corner.
12
Following the central horizontal crease make a mountain fold.
13
Open up the flap. Check out the video at 5:00 min to follow along visually.
14
Flip the paper and open the flap on the other side.
15
Unfold the top flap.
16
Make an additional crease on the top flap such that the edge aligns with the crease the top flap exposed.
17
Fold it again along the crease we aligned with in the previous step.
18
Flip the paper to repeat steps 13-17 on the other side.
19
Open up the top flap and make an additional crease such that the edge of the top flap aligns with the crease that just got exposed with opening up the top flap.
20
Fold it along the crease from the top flap.
21
Lets fold the wings. Pick up the top layer and make a fold starting from the point where the first layer of the nose ends (on the left) to meet the crease in the base edge.
22
Flip the paper to fold the wing on the other side by making it match the wing we just folded.
23
Create a stabilizer by folding 1cm towards the base edge. Make sure the crease is parallel to the base edge.
24
Flip the paper.
25
Create the stabilizer on the other side.
