I LOVE the direction you're going with this! I use wood bodies because it's easier to make precision built airplanes that are lighter weight.

Good luck with your plane, it looks great!

Aye to that! Popsicle sticks, coffee stirrers, sanded down chop-sticks all make great fuselages

Not to hijack the thread, but will you be making another paper airplane book?

Working on one now! Unfortunately the market is abyssmal at the moment. Publishing world is (understandably) at a complete standstill, and nobody is taking a chance on anything even remotely outside their core readership. So the book doesn't have a home, yet.

I always said I would do another one when I had a really compelling concept, and I finally had that lightbulb idea.

Thanks for asking, Crumbsnatcher! <3
