How to fold the Bulldog dart

9 folds · easy · one sheet of A4

Named for its snub nose. It flies best with a gentle throw: thrown hard, the heavy nose just flies it into the ground.

1
Fold the top left corner to the middle.
2
And the other one.
3
Fold the new edge to the middle.
4
And the other one.
5
Now fold the sharp point back: a bulldog nose.
6
Fold it in half along the middle.
7
Fold the wing down, along the keel.
8
Turn it over.
9
And fold the other wing to match.
✓
Open the wings out, level with the keel, and throw it gently, straight ahead.

Crease it sharp. Line the edges up exactly, then run a fingernail along each fold.

If it dives, bend the back edges of the wings up a little.

If the nose rises, then drops, it’s stalling: bend the back edges down a little.
