There is typically a LOT of work in designing in paper models and this picture illustrates the universal engineering story of trial and error. These are the rejected components of the model currently being designed - the Fairchild FC-2 first flown in 1926.

The aircraft would go on to become the best-selling US light aircraft of it's time.

An explanation for the multiple paper wings, the making of which represents a substantial activity of April, is the difficulty in rendering the compound curves and taper on the wingtip which cause the wing to widen as it gets narrows giving it an undesirable appearance, although not immediately visible. We think we've resolved it though and we will be applying that paper engineering to future designs.
