Awesome Straw Plane

This is a plane that has a drinking straw as a fuselage and it flies very nicely. I once made a rubber band powered propeller plane out of this design but I think a small electric motor (needs to fit in the straw) may be able to possibly make an RC plane like thing, or at least make it fly longer(also the motor will act as the nose weight).

Step 1: Materials

You will need-

*A sheet of cardstock
*Tape (not heavy duty tape because it is to heavy)
*A napkin
*scissors
*A bendy straw

some detale wood be nice ???????

[smileys]

are you not seeing the image notes as well, or do you see them and want more info? If the latter of the two is your question what details would you like?

[freeza36]

there are no image notes

[smileys]

weird... I see them

They are the little yellow boxes, mouse over them and you should see the notes

[freeza36]

well i wouldnt be suprised if it was my new computer. if i try to make a yellow note box, it will show in the same position on all of my pictures

cool plane. inginuit at its best.

I still dont get it, i made it again just like you told me to, but still, Point A: stairs, Point B: floor, Flight Path: down. You gotta "re-enlighten" me, later. At some point. Eventually.

i agree

 Hi I just wandering why do you require a bendy straw if you are going to cut off the bendy part anyway.

Cool plane 

[smileys]

The bendy straw(with the bendy part cut off) is smaller, and I have found it works better with that size straw. If you want you can just use a regular straw but it might work better if you cut it to a smaller length.

 works good : )

pager motors fits nicely inside a straw, or those from disposable sex toys which are easier to find (and cheaper), it could be cool to try it out. Any ideas on how to shape a propeller that small?, maybe with some paper too.

sex toys ? SEX TOYS!

[smileys]

I have tried to use a paper propeller for the rubber band idea, and it didn't work all that well. I found my propeller at a local hobby shop (the propeller wasn't actually the one that goes in front of the plane but I think it was one that was supposed to go on the wings, it worked though).
