Once you've made all of your folds and the plane looks symmetrical, it's time to trim it, or adjust it, for flight. Give it a gentle toss forward. Your goal is to have it glide smoothly and gently to the ground, either flying straight or in a gradual curve.
Make these adjustments, if necessary:
If the nose drops and the plane dives into the ground, bend up the back of the wings. A little bend goes a long way.
If the nose rises first and then drops, the plane is stalling. Bend down the back of the wing. Keep your adjustments small.
When you get the plane to balance on the air and float down gently, then you can give it faster tosses.
