I made this little thing in a few hours just as a mere joke, however to make a pencil that flies better than most of my sincere historical replicas I find is a decent achievement.

If anyone needs it, here's a little history behind the joke. The dornier 17 was a german "freight aircraft" designed before the war in the mid 1930s and used in WW2 as a light bomber. The actual aircraft had a long, sleek body and was so dubbed Fliegender Bleistift or in english flying pencil, and so from the dornier 17, rises this aircraft. Enjoy!
