For those seeking a challenge, the Diamonds by Ken Krusha offers a near-perfect glide. Its elegant design is not only a joy to fly but also to behold.

The DXL Weta

The DXL Weta uses just one sheet of standard letter or A4 paper. Folding sequence begins with a preliminary base and ends with a near-identical triangle fold, resulting in a durable, streamlined airplane.

To fold the Weta, start by drawing a line from the top right corner of the paper to the center. Fold the paper in half along this line, then unfold and refold into a 'fish' shape. Complete the folds, and you'll have a sleek Weta ready to take flight.

The Diamonds

The Diamonds, while visually striking, requires a bit more patience. Start by drawing lines to create six evenly spaced horizontal folds. Following Ken Krusha's instructions, you'll transform your paper into a diamond-studded marvel.

The Diamonds' beauty extends beyond its looks. With its symmetrical design, it flies impressively well, demonstrating how form and function can intertwine in a humble sheet of paper.
