Our first attempt was out of 1/8" plywood.  We soon found out that this material was way too heavy and had to start over. It wasn't a total loss though, in that it made a nice fire.

Here's a picture of the original engine being tested. It performed beyond our expectations.

We used a table saw to cut the 2x4's into angle and sticks.

Keeping things simple was one of our priorities.

Test fitting the wing on the fuselage. Everything on this plane is made of Douglas fir 2x4's except for the wing sheeting and the firewall.  The total cost in wood was under $15.00.
