How to fold the Looper
Its wings tip up a little toward the ends. That’s called dihedral, and it helps a plane roll back to level after a wobble.
- 1
Fold the top left corner to the middle.
- 2
And the other one.
- 3
Fold just the tip down, to the middle of the triangle.
- 4
Fold it in half along the middle.
- 5
Fold the wing down, along the keel.
- 6
Turn it over.
- 7
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.
