Hey wait... this is not a toy ! Er... well ok it is, but it flies nicely and with an animated pilot.
While planning an aerodynamics lesson and rocket display for a class of 5-6 year old kids I used the children's book 'The Way Back Home' by illustrator and author Oliver Jeffers.
I liked the aeroplane drawn by Jeffers and wondered how it might fly were it made into an actual flying model.
I decided to make it toy-sized, similar, for example, to one of those small Nine-Eagles foam aircraft. It has 4ch control and a 60cm span. I have given it a weight of around 80g which I think could be possible, if perhaps a bit delicate.
