Propeller :

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

2. Tape the propeller to the front of the fuselage.

Decorate :

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

2. Feel free to modify your airplane or take it home and make a better one.

3. Soda bottle caps work great for wheels and a bamboo skewer makes a great axle.

4. You will probably want to cut the wing tips to the right shape and maybe draw control surfaces on the wings and tail.

Fly it:

1. Tie a long string around the middle of the top wing.

2. Slide this string around until the airplane hangs level. Then tape it securely.

3. It is a good idea to put additional tape on the wings and tail. Be sure they are straight and secure. Also, the airplane has to be held together securely or it might come apart in flight. That is never a good thing. 4. Stand in the middle of a large, open area and slowly swing the airplane around you. It should eventually point forward. If it does not, the tail surfaces are probably too small, or the string is not at the balance point of the plane.
