long, Is inch wide and about 1s inch
thick. To this bar five bamboo ribs,
slightly curved, Is inch wide and three
inches long are fastened by glueing and
wrapping with thread. as shown in Figs.
and 4.
When the ribs are on, see that they are
in line, as If they are not it will make
the plane 'lopsided." For the rim use
a piece of the bamboo So inches long and
split it to 1-16 inch square. Bamboo is

To fasten the ribs split the end of each

end Of the rib to hold the first one from
slipping out of the split. The first wire is
then Brought around the rim and fastened

centre of the ends Through taese holes

act like hinge. It's front Is held in place
by piece Of bamboo bent a right angles,
one side secured to the under part Of the
plane and the other extending down be-
side the frame. where it is held in place
by small rubber band. Thus this plane
can be adjusted to max the model rise
or Hy lower.
Rubber Motor.
The forty-fve feet of rubber Is Iooped
Fhack and forth from the front hooks of
he shafting to measure into eight strands.
The ends are then slipped from the frame
hooks TO the s hooks. which are made from
the No. y steel rod. The rubber is fast
ened to the hooks by winding a small
rubber band around it, as shown in Fig.
Z. The hooks are hooked on the shaft
ing hooks and front hooks, thus enabling
you to receive the motor rubber conven-
iently.
Winding Apparatus.
1t would take too long to wind up the
rubber motor by turning the propellers, 20
a winding apparatus made from an egg
beater is used, as in Y of the illustration
Illustration Y is a winding apparatus
made from a hand drill. which of course
is much better.
With one of these winders both motors
can be wound up at the same time evenly
Have some one hold the two propellers
and frame while you stretch the rubber
ont and wind it up at the same time.
Stretching enables you to get about fifty
per cent more turns. After winding with
the apparatus about 80 to 200 times
fasten the rubber on the front hooks and
make a trial fight in the air without the
hydroplanes. If the model flies we'll at
tach the hydroplanes with rubber bands
to the frame. as shown in Fig. 1.
Only six strands of rubber will be need
ed if the model is used without the hydro
planes. On land this one has flown about
one thousand feet. But the use Of the n.y.
droplanes on the water affords great
deal of pleasure and gives a clear flying
space. which is not always found on ac-
count Of trees.
