How to Make Aluminum Can Airplane

Found this info on making aluminum can airplanes. I’d been working with aluminum cans to build backpacking gear for a while. When looking for sites on making gear, I stumbled across this hobby. Here are the better links I’ve come across…

A detailed free plan for how to make an aluminum can biplane. The best free instructions I’ve been able to find, the one I’ve chosen to do with my kids.

This one, B.C.Air Originals(bcair.com), sells instructions for how to make aluminum can airplanes in PDF format at 10 bucks each. The pdf’s appear to include scale cut outs and good visuals. They look easy to follow and they have plans for some very cool designs, like a helicopter, a fighter jet, and  a P-38 to name the ones that stuck out to me. If the kids like the biplane enough, and I find myself unsure about making something more advanced without further instruction, I might spring for one.

Finally, if you just can’t build it but want one anyway, you can order a very large variety pre-made from
Candoplanes.com. They have a surprisingly wide selection of planes, including an Sr-71 and a B-29, interesting to look at. 

If you know of any other good resources, please post them in the comments and I may add them to the article. Have fun!
