media type="custom" key="8885254" To make a model air plane out of scratch you will need scissors, scotch tape, super glue, paper11.5x8, 5-8 inch pieces of balsa wood, 1-2 inch pieces of balsa wood and 17 tooth picks.

Step 1: First you will need 2 of the 5 8 inch pieces of balsa wood and a toothpick and glue them together make isosceles triangle.

Step 2: Than you will need to take another 8 inch pieces balsa wood and glue it under it than if you look at the side with the tooth pick there will be the 8 inch pieces hanging down glue a tooth pick to the one that is hanging down to the one the one of the one's that has a the other tooth pick all ready glued to it than you take a another tooth pick and glue it to the other side so it makes an equilateral triangle when you look at it from the front.



Step 4: Now that you have made the front wings now it is time to make the back wings. Take 2 tooth picks make a v shape after that you make another v shape than you cut 2 more tooth picks until they are 1 inch after that you glue the 1 inch tooth picks to the v shapes so you have a v shaped wing. Than you take the wing and put it on the back were they all meet up when you do that than you’ve finished that step.what you made should look like this

Step 5: Now you are ready to put in the back wing. So what you do is take a toothpick and the 2-inch balsa wood and make 2 sides of a scalene triangle than two glue it to the 2 abuse bends in the v wing than you take the paper you already cut and cut the paper to put on the back wings now you are done with that step.

Step 6: Now that you finished the wings and the body it is time for the cockpit so what you are going to do is take the remaining tooth picks and what you are going to do is take 1 of the tooth picks and cut it to 3/4 of an inch. Than you take another tooth pick glue the end of that to the middle of the tooth pick you just cut than you are going to take the other end of that tooth pick and glue two the balsa wood on the bottom support. Next you will take the other 2 toothpicks and glue them to the other 2 balsa wood support frames. After that you are going to take the the 2 pieces you just glue in and glue the other sides to the sides 3/4 inch toothpicks now you are done that step.

Now that you have finished your glider its ready to fly it. If it does not work the first time than you just tweak it a little. Good look with your plane. That was how to make simple model air plane.
