  The Roller is a stunt plane - it "rolls" as it flies!

Start with a square piece of paper (8 ½ inches square). You can use a ruler to measure it and cut it square, or ask someone to help you.

Fold the paper in half. Unfold the paper, and fold the top corners in, like this.
Fold the top down where the corners meet, like this. Fold the top over again, like this.
Fold the top corners in again so they meet in the center, like this. Fold the whole thing in half along the center, like this. Place a small piece of tape at the bottom to hold down the flaps.
Fold the wings down along the lines pictured here. Put a paper clip on the bottom in front of the tape. Hit the skies!
