Classic DIY Rubberband Plane Kits
This rubber band propeller airplane kit is from Yoshida in Japan. The Hishou, with its 2 reverse propellers, dates from 1911, when it crossed the Sumida River in a model plane contest. The kit uses balsa wood, ultra-light Styrofoam, rubber bands and 125mm reverse pitch propellers. Illustrated instructions and glue are included. The kit is packed in a box with appealing graphics in Japanese and some English.
There is also a version called the ‘Crow‘ that only has one propeller but it’s still a classic design.
