Step 6: Turn the paper over.

Step 7: Fold the top down by lining up both top two corners to the bottom of both diagonal creases. In other words, fold down at the “X” of the diagonal creases.

Step 22: With your hand, clamp down at the back half of the plane like this. Instead of throwing it, just push it forward as if it’s already in midflight and let go.
