3. When it looks right, tape it to the top of the cone in the back. Some students will struggle with getting this taped on securely and straight. It is also possible to cut the point off the cone for about ½” and then cut a slot in the top of the cone. Insert the rudder into the slot and flatten the sides of the cone against the rudder. Staple it together. This method may work better but is not as easily modified. 4. The left and right sides of the elevator should each be about 3” by 3” but can be just about any shape you think looks best. Students are likely to make the tail surfaces too small. 5. Tape them to the left and right sides of the cone by the rudder. This could be done by making the elevator one piece and cutting a slot halfway across the elevator and rudder, assembling the parts just like the landing gear and wings earlier.

Propeller :

1. A craft stick makes a great propeller, but one can be cut from cardboard. A cardboard propeller can be cut to shape and twisted.

2. Tape the propeller to the front of the fuselage. Since the bottom of the can is concave, it will probably be taped to each side. Glue might be a better option.

Decorate :

1. Look at photos of old airplanes. Draw engine cylinders, a cockpit, numbers, or anything else that would make your airplane look great.
