Cardboard box aviation






Josh and Luke wanted an airplane made out of cardboard boxes, and their request had specific requirements...it had to have controls, and room for a pilot and passenger. Luckily I had a huge memory foam mattress box sitting downstairs, so I went to work with an exacto knife and duct tape. In retrospect, I'm not sure that the duct tape was the best method of holding everything together. It's not as permanently sticky as I'd hoped, and tends to peel off too easily. Certain areas, like the wings, would probably benefit from the judicious use of a staple-gun. We started out with chairs in it, but they took up too much room, and were too high for the control panel.
