Handy man's workshop and laboratory . WOODEN PROPELLEFt 2XQU -3-Fig. 365—Dimensions of the biplane flying machine vertical and horizontal 3-inch lengths. The two frames are simi-larly braced at 10 inches from each end. To make the front planes (2 by 9 inches) take two pieces of rat-tan gy2 inches long, and at each end fasten a two-way holder, madefrom a piece of brass cut as at C (Fig. 364). The rattan willthen take the shape of the front plane shown. After having fast- 446 HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY ened the rattan firmly, cut a piece of silk to the proper shape andsew it in position. Make the bottom plane in the same way. At-3 inches from the end put in the struts, as in the main plane,except that the small piece of rattan across the front plane will bebut 2 inches long. Put in another set of struts at 3 inches from. Fig. 366—The toy Wright biplane the first set. Now fasten in place at each end the remaining strutshown in Fig. 365, and the front planes are finished. To fastenthe front planes to the main planes, take four pieces of rattan,6 inches long, and connect each end to the main plane, and to the- front plane, so that they cross each other, as at D (Fig. 364). HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY 447 The center 3-inch section of the main plane should be oppositethe 3-inch section of the front planes. For the rudder, take a piece of rattan 4^ inches long andanother piece 3 inches long. Bend the longer piece and fastenit to the 3-inch piece with a three-way brass holder. The framewill take the shape of the capital letter D. Cut two pieces ofrattan iy2 inches long and, after making the second D-frame,fasten them as shown in Fig. 365, and sew on the silk. This done,cut two more pieces of rattan 5 inches long, fasten them to thefront end of the main plane frame, so that they will pass over there
