For only a penny and a very few minutes of your time, you can do more for the future of our hobby, indeed the AMA itself, than any other effort that I am aware of! A lifelong fascination with flying and things that fly is easily developed in the very young, given the proper exposure. This project is dedicated to the young, from six to 66 and on; everyone gets caught up in the fun, flying this simplest of all flying machines. Here's how: You need the top from a one-dozen-size foam egg carton. Place the wing pattern inside the styrofoam lid and trace the outline with a ball-point pen. Cut along the tracing with a very sharp knife. Press a penny down into the forward part of the "cargo bay" and secure with a drop of white glue on either side.
