Luke Gibson asked "grandad can you make an airplane out of the rim of a foam plate", he noticed I usually throw that part away. I made one yesterday and today I had 10 minutes to spare so I thought I would make another with some minor changes. This is the build and takes me just over the 10 minutes. The flights are in part 2.

Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap.
