"So, as you're sitting in class waiting for recess to happen, you want to be working on your paper airplane. Hi, my name is Robert Segundo, and I'm going to show you how to do a couple of paper airplanes here. If you'll look down to our sheet, I've actually got a bigger size sheet of paper here, because I like my paper airplanes big. So what we're going to do, is we're going to take and fold it over in half, like so, there you go. We're going to open it up, we're going to make kind of a house shape, fold our corner in like so, the same thing on the other side here. Now, what we're going to do, is we're going to take, and we're going to fold one more time, this corner back over, into the inside, like so. I've got some pretty stiff paper here, but I want mine to fly true and straight so, this will be great. We'll do the same thing over here, there we go, like so. It ripped on me but that's alright, now we're going to fold this back, in half to its original. Work on your point, make sure your point is good and, good and straight. Now, we're just going to take it, fold our wings down, and go outside, I've put a little curve on it there to give it a little lift, a little bit of an angle there, to give it some lift. And, then I'm going to go outside and me and my friends are going to have a contest. There you have it, there it is, your paper airplane, enjoy."
