Now that we have the basic shape of the plane and the finger-holds in place, this is the nose. These are the wings. You can make embellishments to the wings by folding them up, like so. Or, if you want you can roll them. I've found that folding them gets the best results for flying. You can also make the wings bigger. You can just experiment with different folds whenever you make your own plane--what gives the best results and what happens when you throw it. If the wings are higher like this, the tips, or if they're shorter, I've always just made them like this. It's just because that's the way I've always done it. But you can do whatever you want--just experiment.
