half. while the back end is a
straight stick as at U-E, in the
drawing. The two top sticks come
together where they tie to U-E,
but the bottom stick d ties to it
alone an inch and a half lower
down.
The other triangular bracings
are at the places dimensioned in
Fig. 3.
While you are at it, tie on the
cross S, which holds the tail, and
brace it with stout thread.
If you wish you can use anneal-
ed iron wire in tying up the frame,
pulling it tight at the joint by
twisting with pair of pliers. You
can get this wire by the spool at
any hardware store. However,
thread will do very we'll if you put
a drop of glue on each joint after
the knot is tied, or if you can shell
lac the whole frame, this varnish
will harden and set the joints.
Making the Wings.

the framework of the wings.
The main spars, l., are cut
round, just little over an eighth

The first thing that will impress
you when you lok at Fig. /, the
model of the Antoinette mono
plane, is that the framework is
three-cornered, sloping off to a
wedge at the tail. From that pic
ture you get an idea how the
frame is put together.
Fig. 3 shows how the wings are
framed up so that the surfaces will
be correctly curved and thus sup
port more weight.
The wings are made detachable
so they Can be taken off when
carrying the machine from place
to place.
Look at all the drawings and
get a general idea of how the parts
are made, and how they ere put
together. Fig. 8 is the plan from
which you will work, and you will
save time If you will sit down with
a pencil and ruler and copy 1t on
q large sheet of paper according to
the dimensions given in the draw
ing, Fig. 8. Then, when working,
you can lay your work right onto
the drawing to be sure that 1t is
right, and SO save unnecessary
measuring. At the same time you
will get better idea of how the
machine will fit together.
When you have made this draw
ing cut out the three long sticks
for the framework, and a mum er
of smaller ones for bracing.
Cut these down by holding the
plane upside down in the left hand
while you draw the wood over the
edge.
Get the long sticks down to {
little less than an eighth of al

each end of the wing cloth, max
ing these not so far apart as lthe
sticks, and r, will be when on
the ends of the spars, so that,
when on, the cloth will ybe
stretched.
Also sew a tuck along each
edge, front and rear, as far apart
as the holes (O) in and R, and
through these tucks run your
spars. Then run (R) through its
tuck and slip the pins (P)
through the holes (O). At the
other end slip R through its tuck,
and pulling the pins out of the
ends of the spar, put r in posi-
ton and drive them in again
through o.
If you do all of this carefully
you will have wing with no
wrinkles, tight and true, and at
the same time very light.
Make the other end just the

same, only reversed, of course, to
face the "other way down"
Attaching the Wings.
The pins (P) should stick clear
through r and now you can fasten
the wings to the frame at the posi-
ton shown in Fig. 8, by adding a
stick like ], in Fig. 2, to each side
Of the framework, tying it in place
This has holes (O) into which the
wing pins (P) fit, and thus the
wing will be held to the frame al
this end. ,".tt
The back edge of the wing
should be about quarter of an
inch below the front edge, or
three-eighths at the most.
The wires (b) are added, Topped
at one end, to hook over the
pins (p) at the outer edge of the
wing, tied at the other end to the
strut (G) and Co and stretched
taut, so that the wings are slant
ed up at the proper dihedral
angle.
Do not slant the wings too
much.
The Tail.

idea of the tail, which is formed

to a small stick (Vj below. run

Tho Running Gear.
The running gear frame is bent
up of wire fastened to the lower
end or c, which is braced by
wires, as shown, to take the strain.
The drawing clearly shows how
the trusting is done. The wheels
are made of corks.
If you wish, the whole under
side of the frame work may be
covered with thin cloth to add to
the appearance and lessen the
head resistance. This is what en-
abled Latham to float when he
landed in the English channel on
hts trial flight across.

first made, except that the pro-
peller should be eight inches long
The larger propeller will require a
larger bunch of rubber bands to
propel it, and almost as long as
the frame itself inside, less the
length of the wire shaft of the
propeller, which should stick back
of its bearing point for at least
1.-TWO and half inches. This bear
ing is through cross stick tied tc
the front of the frame end.
Fig. gives you the idea of how
to brace the wings.
Some details of wing construc-
ton are shown in Fig. 8. These
drawings are self-explanatory. At
the corners of your wings, cut out
the little square piece, as in c, and
splice the joints as in D.
You now have the complete de-
tails for building a small ma
