| Adding the headrest. At the front, where the motor would go, you can see a bolt and fender washers. These were added as a counter balance because the tail made the planes tail heavy. Overall these weigh about 4 1/2-5 pounds each. |

I used non-expanding, clear Gorilla Glue to glue the edges together. It seems to do the trick. |

The engine cowls are pool noodles. I ripped them lengthwise on a table saw and then wrapped them onto the tube to cut to size. |

The hand holds, just above the wings, are individual cat food containers. One on each side. |

| Materials are the cardboard tubes for poring concrete columns. The black material is Gatorfoam. |
