Can someone please help me with these directions? especially the 45 and 90 degree one.
To make the best (In my humble opinion!) paper airplane, just follow these simple steps. First, get a plain piece of new (or at least mostly new) paper. Printer paper will probably work just fine, as it has the right amount of durability and strength, but still is easy to fold.
Then, with this piece of paper, fold it once lengthwise, aligning the edges so it is folded perfectly in half. Smooth over any creases. Then, take the one of the corners of the plane, and fold it over, perfectly, splitting the 90 degree angle into a 45 degree angle. Fold this again on the other side, replicating what you did on the other side as well.
This step is very important, so make sure you don't miss this, and make sure you fold it correctly. It is basically done by just taking the corner, and folding it down to match the bottom line, then smoothing over any creases or rough spots with your hand as you fold.
Now, you'll repeat this two more times, on each side, being careful to keep it as evenly folded as possible. To do this, fold this area over again on one side, and on the other side. Fold it one last more time on each side. And smooth over any creases or rough spots in the paper.
