Hi everyone, Thank you very much for supporting all of
my channels.
To celebrate my 50 thousand subscribers.
I decided to create a new, special paper airplane just for you, and I got inspiration from Star
Wars movie.
Finally, I came up with the Tie Fighter.
I believe that you have see a similar model to this plane somewhere else because I am
not the first one who try to create the Tie Fighter.
However, if you go through the tutorial, you will see the differences between this plane
and other planes.
And this paper plane flies very well indoor, so why not start now!
To to make Tie Fighter, you need a (sheet of ) regular printing paper.
You can use U.S letter size or A4 paper.
Either o the papers will be fine for this model.
Now let's start!
First step, I will fold the paper in half.
Next unfold the paper.
Now let's fold the paper in half again.
Start from the top edge, fold to the bottom edge.
Now, I will flip the paper over, and fold the paper in half.
Now, lets turn the paper this way.
On the following step, I will fold the paper in half one more time.
Next, you can see that I have 2 parts of the paper.
I will open that pocket, and you can see the edge on the top!
I'll will match it to the crease on the bottom.
Then repeat the same fold for the opposite side.
Fold this layer to a side, and repeat the same fold.
Open the pocket, push the top edge down, and now fold this layer to the left side.
Next step, I start from the tip, fold it to the bottom edge.
Now, unfold this triangle shape.
Start from the tip, fold it to the crease we just made, and now fold the whole part
on the top down.
Next fold the paper in half.
make sure that all edges are lined up.
Now, estimate about 1/2in along this edge, and same thing for this side.
This is very simple.
Keep in mind that when you fold the wings down ( or you fold this part of the paper
down) the paper might be shipped a little bit, but it is Ok.
It is not a very big deal.
And I repeat the same fold for the other side.
It is easier if I put the paper down, and I will match this edge to the edge on the
other side.
And now, I am going to create the stabilizers for all of the wings.
basically, we have 4 wings.
1 wing on the top, 1 wing on the bottom, and same thing for the other side.
I will estimate about 1/2 in from this corner along this edge, and I will fold this side
of the wing toward the center crease (or toward the center).
Now, you will fold the same thing for the other side of the wing.
To make it easy, just fold the paper like this, and make sure all of the wings are lined
up.
And repeat the same fold for the other wings.
I fold this part first, and just fold it down.
Same thing for the other wing.
Now you can unfold (open) the wings.
Unfold the stabilizers.
Pull the stabilizers of the other side out.
And here you go!
This is the Tie Fighter.
Before you throw the plane, make sure that you create the elevators to help the plane
fly well.
Very simple!
Just pinch the end of the wing up -- same thing for the other side to make the pinch
elevators for both side.
When you finish that part, you can throw the plane, but make sure that you hold the plane
at the right place.
Let's feel it.
Feel the top and bottom.
You can feel that the center of the plane right here.
Hold it at the center of the plane, and throw it lightly.
Do not throw it too hard.
You need to learn how to throw the plane first before you can actually fly it.
Your fist throw might not be successful.
The plane might crash down quickly, but when you learn the (right) angle of the plane,
it will fly very well.
Keep in mind that you need to throw it at an appropriate power, too.
If you throw it to hard the plane will crash.
If you throw with to light the plane will not fly at all.
And if the plane flies well for you, why not give the video a thumb up.
