Handy man's workshop and laboratory . sed through ahole at the center of the front brace and bent to form a hook. Another piece of stiff wire is bent to form a crank handle andis threaded through a bead and washer, after which it is passedthrough the small hole bored at 2 inches from the lower end ofrear brace, and a hook is formed on the inner end. The rubbertube is now looped over the two hooks. For the wheels, almost any circular article will do. Large i-inchbuttons can be used to good advantage, or any small and light HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY 44I wheels from some broken toy. Make the axle of wire, insertedthrough a piece of bamboo 6 inches long. Bend the wire asshown in the photograph and fasten the wire to the front brace the wheel, tie the axle in the position shown. At theextreme end of the rear plane fasten another wheel, and theaeroplane is complete, as shown in Fig. 362. To make the aeroplane fly, turn the handle (holding the pro-peller at the same time) about 50 to 75 times if rubber strands. Fig. 362—A monoplane with divided front plane are used, and if tube is used about 20 to 30 times are enough forthe first trial, release the propeller after having placed the aero-plane in position on the ground, and it will then fly, if everythingis adjusted properly. A good help in experimenting will be to bore a small hole alittle below the handle and insert a small wire to act as a a stop may also be used to a good advantage for the pro-peller. The guiding plane at the top of the aeroplane is madefrom silk 3 inches wide and 32 inches long, and it is used to help 442 HANDY MAN S WORKSHOP AND LABORATORY keep the aeroplane on a straight course. It also may be doneaway with entirely, as it is not absolutely necessary. After a fewtrials the maker will know just what proper adjustments are
