This is a rather ingenious way to begin folding an airplane. The author of Flying Origami manages to make the canard wingspan equal to the entire width of the sheet of paper. The classic canard (folded from the dart base) has rather short canards..

It's still not clear what's going on, but the symmetry will soon emerge.

Now to begin forming the nose.

Note how it vaguely resembles a sort of "second fundamental" of the glider base. From here, just fold the nose down and create the fuselage and tail as desired.

We now have the canard aircraft, which is an interesting plane all to itself. This version with a full-span canard is much more stable than the traditional canard, thanks to Nakamura Eiji's optimization work.

Fold the canards back as close to the fuselage as desired and prepare for a tricky manuever

Origami veterans will recognize this fold from the classic crane base. It's a neat way to fold the paper in a direction it really doesn't want to go.

Be good! And if you can't be good... be careful!
