Secret Final Steps, Ultimate Paper Airplane Design (full instructions)

Secret Final Steps to the ultimate paper airplane design. Hide The Scissors. This modification is built on an ancient Eurasian design that may be hundreds of years old. No cutting or tearing.

The Secret Final Steps is a single fold, tucked in, that modifies an ancient design. My dad taught me the glider version from which I added the secret final steps. I wasn't taught the cut&tear version, and never liked tearing the paper because of a fascination with simple Origami in Jr. high school.

Everything after 3:17 in this video is the new material, skip ahead if you know the beginning steps.

The throw at the end went in a circle, also have a video of just throwing it, to show distance and speed (Got 65 feet in a narrow 8x8 corridor once, in a local "engineering week" competition, winning with the farthest distance)

@Tblackburn89 now you have to go to England!, muah ahahahaha, oh, I forgot to show the flap adjustment, with flaps aimed steeply upwards, it will balance the sharp downward force of the heavy front : )

nice variation on an old design! I can't confirm that the beginning steps date back hundreds of years, but I can confirm that the beginning design was in common use in the 1940's in the USA.

Good Job!
