Only a paper model in the sense that wood is simply raw paper, but this one could be converted to a conventional paper design. This would be one hell of a project for Nobi.

What a beautiful model. I built a few rubber plane powered kits and it is amazing how well they fly when adjusted correctly. This one is a gem.

Darwin,

Very nice find! Stick & Tissue models share a close relationship with paper models. One really great thing about them is that the plans from a well known modeler are generally researched well and build well from the available plan. That's something a designer can really appreciate. Another plus is that they're somewhere in the range of 1:33 scale and have already undergone scrutiny for those features that are essential for a particular subject. This is one of those intangible details that only seasoned modelers seem to master...,

Thanks for the link. I'm waiting for my son to be a few years older to help fly them but I plan on doing some peanut scale builds in the future.

But be careful if using flying model plans as a basis fora card model. THe tail surfaces are often enlarged to make them more stable
