Manta Ray. The Manta Ray is one variation of the schoolyard specials that are fun to fold and fun to fly. These craft are what the kid in you wants. Easy to fold, easy to fly for almost immediate gratification.
Easty to fold and Fly, this dart has a forward swept winglets (canards) which give you extra control of its flying characteristics. Start with a sqaure sheet. Fold the paper exactly in half. Unfold the paper after the crease has been made.
The Thow: Open up the wing flaps and adjust the wing angles so they are even. Set the dihedral angle flat or slightly up. The winglets in front can be adjusted to make the plane loop.
