Not to mention an unguarded 6x4 propeller spinning at about 10 000RPM quite able to do some serious damage. Quite a feat of bravery if you consider this small object making the noise of a thousand angry bees coming at you at a million miles an hour. I managed to convince one of my co-conspirators to catch it at the other end. I ran it on the Olympic size swimming pool at school. It should have been a tethered model, I suppose, but at the time I had no idea about this sort of thing.

It was powered by my favourite Cox 049 Baby Bee. Very simple construction using a half a sheet of 12mm balsa, which means you could make two. I made this air powered hydroplane model many years ago. Piatelli Tailless Model Airplane Plans Dutch Tailless Glider It would be an experimental prototype, after all, and I would hate to see all my hard work come crashing into the ground on the maiden flight.ĭownload the plans here: Peres III Biplane Pod and Boom Glider by Ing F. For the pod and boom, I would more than likely use soft balsa sheet instead of the polygonal pod as shown. First, change the construction of the wings with a few more ribs and a more substantial leading edge.Īlso, vertical grain webbing between the spars for the first third of the wingspan. If I was to make one, as an experimental prototype, there are a few things I would change. No tow hook position is shown, but according to the article, it should be about 3 inches back from the nose of the pod. Apparently it was something favoured by the Italians, used in many of their flying boat designs. I’m sure it can be built with balsa wood.Īn unusual feature is the anti lift tail plane, an inverted aerofoil section. The original built from hardwood and hardwood veneer. Looks like playing with model airplanes was a serious business back then. This design from the Tel Aviv Experimental Center for Areomodelling and Low Speed Aerodynamics, inspired by ING F.
