I wish to extend an invitation to all members of the Metalwork Forums to join in our 2020 -2021 Plane Building Challenge. Details of the challenge are posted > HERE < on Woodwork Forum.
Planes may be made from wood, metal, plastic, etc or any combination and can be based on your own design, someone else's design or a modification of an existing design, but does not include the restoration or modification of an old plane.
The competition judges are IanW, fletty and derekcohen. The competition closes on 31 March 2021.
Good luck,
Bob

Has the completion date of 31 March 2021 been chosen for a particular reason.
The reason I am asking is that there is possibly another small aviation event on around that date, depending on Covid 19.
That is the 100th anniversary of the formation of the Royal Australian Air Force.

there are planes and there are planes...
There is lots of fun and variation in plane making. For example, here are some I prepared earlier (not the metal ones ) ). Mostly I make them for my own woodworking, and a Krenov-style, like the little square one on the left of the three, work well, but will impress no-one.
