2torial #0646: Learn2 Make Paper Airplanes (Continued) Method 2: The Basic Glider Make the basic body folds   Fold the paper the long way, just as you did for the first two steps of the Dart. If you didn't make the Dart, fold the paper and line up the corners so that they're on top of each other. Hold the two long ends down with one hand and crease the paper with you other hand. Use your fingernail or a ruler to get a really sharp crease. Now open the paper. You've just created the center crease of the airplane. From now on, each side should look like a mirror image of the other side. This ensures that the plane will fly straight.   Fold one corner into the middle: the short edge, from the corner to the center crease, will line up along the crease. Hold the short edge down with one hand and crease the fold with your other hand. On the other side of the crease, fold the opposite corner so that the short edges just barely meet at the center crease. So far, the design is identical to the Dart. The next step marks the end of their similarities.   Fold the short way. Fold the point over at the base of the first two folds. The resulting triangle should have three sharp corners and should sit atop a solid rectangle. The center crease should line up exactly on top of itself. Hold the triangle down with one hand and crease. Note: this fold produces the distinctive blunted nose of the Glider. Method 2 - Step 2
