Rubber Band Plane

18.9k Zippy6  7.0 years ago

A couple years ago i designed a plane that I wanted to build out of balsa wood. I never did finish that model, and it sits incomplete to this day. I made it here to see how well it would fly. Thank goodness I did because i had to make some serious adjustments! I have given it the color scheme I had planned.
