A MODEL AEROPLANE
Reading edition
Materials Required:—
Soft white wood, laundry pins, thin cardboard, a tiny piece of mica, mucilage.
Fig. 110.
This model was made by a boy of eleven and is most beautifully proportioned and put together. The body and wings and floats and little boats are all made of the white wood, well smoothed with sandpaper; the steering-gear is of cardboard. The propeller is made of mahogany and the tiny wind-screens of semicircles of mica. All is put together with "laundry" pins. The ailerons on the upper planes are held by strips of narrow tape.
