nameplane_intro=The Gold Medal Challenge: Match the folding instructions for each paper airplane with the finished product in as few steps as possible. You start with 100 points. The goal is to finish with as many points as you can. Each time you use a step, you lose one point. But don’t just guess - each wrong match will cost you five points! Are you ready to fold for the gold? wait_msg=When all of the Navy Jets chasing your cursor disappear, the game will begin... name_plane_subheading=Click on a plane to see a large view payoff_text1=Right on!

Crease well. Unfold. Repeat the same fold with the opposite top corner. Crease, and unfold. Turn the paper over. plane_1_2=Make a central crease vertically as shown by aligning the right side of the paper to the left. Unfold. plane_1_3=Make a horizontal crease as shown, so that this crease passes through the intersection of all the creases already made. Keep the central crease carefully aligned. Unfold. Turn the paper over again. plane_1_4=Now make an accordion fold as follows: Push in with your finger on the point where all the lines intersect. This should make the center bulge away from you. Grasp point A on each side of the paper and draw each side downward and toward the center of the paper until they touch the central crease. Hold them there. Now bring down the top corners labeled B so that they rest against point C on each side. When you have completed the fold successfully, recrease all edges. plane_1_5=Fold the tip down so it rests against the horizontal paper edge in the exact center, as shown. Note that this fold creates a triangle from the top edge, and that little pockets are formed in the sides of the triangle. Open these pockets gently with your finger. plane_1_6=On each side you should have two wings: a small, pointed upper wing resting on a larger lower wing. On each side, fold the pointed upper wing inward so that the point just touches the tip of the triangle formed in step 5, labeled A. plane_1_7=Now fold the small wing upward diagonally on each side as shown. Partially unfold. Tuck tip C on each side into the little pocket you formed in Step 5, labeled AB here. plane_1_8=Shows the result of Step 8. Turn the plane over. Fold in half along the central crease. plane_1_9=Fold down each wing, so that point A exactly matches point B on each side. Be certain to fold both wings exactly the same. plane_1_10=Show the resulting plane, from above. Fold up each wing end approximately 3/4 inch from the edge, as shown. Each should be approximately the same as the other. plane_2_name=Navy Jet plane_2_steps=11 plane_2_1=With the paper as shown, make a central crease by aligning the left edge of the paper against the right. Crease well. Unfold. Turn the paper over. plane_2_2=Fold down both top corners as shown, aligning the top edge on each side with the central crease. plane_2_3=Shows the result of Step 2. Fold down the top as shown, so that the top rests exactly on the center where the horizontal paper edges meet. Crease well. plane_2_4=Now fold down the top corners as shown, again aligning the top edge against the central crease. plane_2_5=This is the result of step 4. Turn the plane over. plane_2_6=Fold each wingtip toward the center so that they exactly touch the central crease in the back. Keep the back of the wing perfectly aligned. plane_2_7=Make a diagonal fold as shown from the tip of the plane to point A on each side, to form the front edge of the wings. Crease very well. plane_2_8=Shows the result of Step 7. Now fold the plane in half along the central crease. plane_2_9=Fold down each wing as shown. The fold should start a little over an inch from the front of the plane, and should taper toward the central fold in the back, as in the illustration. The wings should be aligned perfectly with each other-the exact location of the fold is less important than making it the same on each side. plane_2_10=this drawing shows the plane form the side, with the wing folded down. On each side, fold out the tail as shown, making the fold approximately parallel to the wing fold from Step 9. This fold should be as equal as possible on each side. plane_2_11=This is a top view. Gently bend up the outer tip of each wing as shown, to make an elevator on each side. plane_3_name=Canard Jet plane_3_steps=11 plane_3_1=Make a central crease as shown, by aligning one long edge of the paper with the opposite long edge. Crease well. Unfold. plane_3_2=Fold down both top corners as show, aligning the top edge on each side against the central crease. Crease well. Unfold both sides. Turn the paper over. plane_3_3=Not that the creases you just make join each other at the front of the central crease. Take the diagonal crease on one side and align it carefully against the central crease, and fold as shown. Repeat on the other side. plane_3_4=Now fold back the front tip so that it touches point A. Crease well. plane_3_5=Shows the result of the previous fold. Fold the tip back forward so that it just touches the front edge in the exact center. Unfold. plane_3_6=Fold up the small forward wing on the right, following the paper edge shown. plane_3_7=Now fold the small right wing back out as shown. Your fold should extend from the right upper corner to the horizontal crease in the center, as shown. plane_3_8=Shows the result of Step 7. Now, fold up the small left wing, as in Step 6. plane_3_9=Fold down the left wing, as in Step 7. plane_3_10=The result should look like this. Turn the plane over. Fold in half along the central crease, carefully aligning both sets of wings. plane_3_11=Fold down each wing as shown, aligning the diagonal edge of each wing with the central fold. Make certain both the wings and the canards match each other exactly. Partially unfold. plane_4_name=Hornet plane_4_steps=7 plane_4_1=Make a vertical central crease, as shown, by aligning the left edge of the paper with the right. Crease well. Unfold. Turn the paper over. plane_4_2=Fold down both top corners as shown, aligning the edges carefully against the central crease. plane_4_3=Make another similar fold, again aligning the edges on each side against the central crease. plane_4_4=Shows the result of Step 3. Now fold down the tip, your fold passing through the point labeled A where the paper edges come together. Make certain the central crease is lined up exactly on the backside of the plane. Crease well. plane_4_5=Make diagonal folds on each side, folding the top folded edge to the central crease. The fold will follow the diagonal edges of paper on each side, as shown. For and alternate finish to the plane, go to step 8. plane_4_6=Shows the result of Step 5. Turn the paper over, and fold in half along the central crease. plane_4_7=Fold the wing down as shown, aligning the edge of the wing with the central fold, from the tip back. Repeat with the other wing, aligning the wings exactly. Partially unfold. (See drawing of finished plane)
