I'm so sure that you're going to enjoy making these planes that I'm going to GIVE you your first How-To Booklet absolutely FREE. NO COST OR OBLIGATION. Just CLICK on the little Yellow Helicopter (at the bottom of this page) and send me that e-mail and I'll e-mail you back the How-To Booklet on the Vickers F. B. 5

The Vickers F.B.5 was a British WWI Biplane, (nicknamed the "GUNBUS"). It was the first aircraft specifically designed for the purpose of shooting down other aircraft. Prior to the F.B.5 aircraft were used for observation, reconnaissance and message delivery only. Then some pilot took a shot at some other pilot and before you know it the F.B.5 came along and ruled the skies. That is until the Albatrosses and the Fokkers came along.

The Vickers F.B.5 may not be the most attractive of all the B. C. Air Originals planes but it is a good FIRST plane to make. The steps you learn in making this Historic Biplane will help you understand how all the other B. C. Air Originals planes are made (put together).

I put together my first Beer Can Airplane in 1984, and although I've been building airplanes since the age of 5 and have made them out of virtually everything you can imagine, since then (now age 63) I haven't made an airplane out of anything other than Beer and Pop Cans. The material is easy to work with, inexpensive and makes GREAT looking little Airplanes that people really enjoy.

Aside from being a lot of FUN to make, these planes are just challanging enough to help keep your mind active. They are a wonderful form of theropy and make great Father/Son or GrandDad/GrandSon projects that are sure to impress your friends.
