A build from 10 years ago: What could be more appropriate to fly in than a bathtub? Especially if you learn how to scrub yourself while making s turns, leaving a trail of bubbly foam. With a span of 24’ and powered by a Henderson four-cylinder in-line engine it looks like the ultralight take for 1924. It was replicated a number of times in more contemporary times by aficionados, either because they wanted a simple plane or because they needed a bath. The main parts (flying surfaces, engine and tub) for this project were made in about three hours on a Saturday. The photos describe the building steps. Would you believe me if I tell you that the real plane won a trophy? And so finishes this article, as small as the model it describes. Scratched engine:
