A Bi Plane for Hayden
Feb 04, 2009
This project was built for my 5 year old grandson. It was constructed using maple and walnut at the Offutt AFB, NE Wood Shop. The idea came from an old plan that I revised to increase wing span to 16 1/2″, add shaped airfoils, mortise and tenon struts, and turned engine, cowl, wheel and spinner details. Joinery used in assembling the wing and tail surfaces to the fuselage took a lot of hand shaping and sanding but was worth the effort. Finish is natural with many coats of lacquer.
