Paper Plane (STREAM-CX): Assembly Instructions

Mountain fold
Make a mountain fold.

Fold and make creases along


the mountain and valley fold
lines, and carefully cut out all
the parts with scissors.

Fold along the creases and


create the dihedral angle on
the wings.

Valley fold
Make a valley fold.
Scissors line
Cut along the line.

Use the gauge to


adjust the angle
The parts will be easier to cut out
if you cut around them roughly and
then cut along the lines.

Wing dihedral gauge

Attach the wings and horizontal stabilizer to the body.

Scissors, set square, a used pen, tweezers
(useful for handling small parts), ruler.

Check that the parts


are not misaligned.

Attach the wing reinforcer and horizontal


stabilizer reinforcer to the back side of the
wings and horizontal stabilizer.

this can warp the shape of the paper.)

Before applying glue, fold and make creases

Attach the hook for the elastic and the fin.

After attaching the wings, put them between two


boards or books and leave them to dry for 2 to 24
hours.
If using books, put them between sheets of blank
paper first to prevent the ink or glue from running.

For the hook for the elastic, and the fin to hold
the plane by, it will be easier if you cut out the
glue tabs a little larger than needed, and then
cut away the excess.

along all the mountain and valley fold lines.


Trace along the folds with a used pen (no-ink) to
get a Sharpe, easier fold.
Put the elastic

inside and attach.

Attach the nose internal reinforcer to the inside of the body.

Attach the hook for the elastic,


and the fin to hold the plane by,

dangerous to young children. Please keep them
out of reach of children while you work.
Non-soluble adhesive or clear lacquer should not
be used by children. Also, keep these substances
away from open flames and work in a
well-ventilated area.

Where to
apply adhesive

Fold the inside part A at the bottom of the


body inside, fold the opposite side B on top
of A, and attach.

Be careful not to fold the paper except along the fold lines.
Keep the paper flat when working.

Make a gentle valley fold on the wing fillet, use


your finger to curve it and align it with the wing
joint. Apply a generous amount of adhesive and
attach as shown.

piece of felt, about 3mm thick,
and attach it in line with the
nose's shape as shown.

3 Painting the plane with clear lacquer (oil-based) will make it


stronger, less susceptible to humidity and its shape less likely
to warp.

Insert the weight into


the tip and glue it in

Use a piece of scrap paper to


apply glue to the inside of the
slot, and then insert the vertical
fin and attach it in place.

The plane can still cause accidents even with the sponge and felt attached.
Be sure to carefully read the Flying Safety Precautions before flying your plane.
