Step	Image	Instruction
0		Start with a rectangular piece of paper.
1		Fold it along the longer edge.
2		Find the center along the new vertical edge and pinch it to mark it.
3		Find the top 1/4 along the vertical edge and pinch it to mark it.
4		Create a diagonal fold starting at the 1/4 point on the left and ending at the top right corner.
5		Create a squash fold on the top flap such that you see a diamond.
6		Fold the top section of the diamond backwards such that it is on the other side of the paper.
7		Pick up the top right corner (only the top layer) and fold it towards the left, such that the fold ends at the bottom right corner.
8		Fold the top layer forming a triangle similar to the bottom layer.
9		Insert the corner of the top flap into the pocket in the bottom layer.
10		Fold the remaining flap to the left.
11		Flip the paper such that the top goes to the bottom and front to back.
12		Make a fold similar to the previous folds.
13		Insert the top flap into the bottom pocket.
14		Fold the remaining flap to the left.
15		Pick up the top layer and fold it to the right.
16		Flip the paper and make a fold similar to the previous step on this side as well.
17		This step is a little tricky. Pick up the paper and open it up in the center and make the fold such that you get the complex triangle on the left.
18		After pressing the fold, you should see a triangle inside a triangle.
19		Flip the paper such that the front goes to the back.
20		Fold the left corner 2-3cm to the right to form the triangle.
21		Fold it in half such that the triangle formed in the previous step lies inside the fold.
22		Form the wing by fold the top flap leaving a 1cm fuselage at the center.
23		Flip the paper.
24		Form the other wing by repeating the fold on this side.
25		Create the stabilizers by folding the top corner of the wing.
26		Fold the stabilizers on the other side and open up the wings.
27		Make sure the wings are parallel and the stabilizers are perpendicular to the wings.
