Default This one flies all day long .

I finally built one that flies well . I traced the profilefrom the plan in my kit . The body is painted aluminum .The roof mount is an old TV antenna mount . The cowl is the bottom of a small bleach bottle . The wheels are turned wood ,from the craft store . I sharpened the pivot rod to a point and added an ounce of oil to the pipe . I soldered a brass lamp piece to the pivot rod to keep the pipe dry . It moves well and is an instant indicator of if it's flying weather or not . .... D.J.

That is really cool. Plus it uses "air" for power too. Thanks for sharing.
