Hey guys,

Hows this for different :-) It's a rubber band powered Bleriot

It has a 10 inch loop of super sport rubber swinging a 5 inch diameter Guillow prop and freewheel assembly. The plane is of my own design and flies for approximately 25-30 seconds with 750 turns from my Knight&Pridham winder. The fuselage is made up mostly of balsa and tissue, in traditional stick and tissue methods, and the wings and tailfeathers are cut from sheet balsa.
