Fletcher's idea for his project came from a wooden plane he had made at Mitre 10 Mega but he wanted to improve his design. Fletcher knew exactly what he wanted to make but along the way he learned that his plane was a bi-plane and also that it had lots of little details when you looked closely at pictures. We challenged Fletcher to see how to add these to his plane and were amazed by how detailed Fletcher made it - check out the tiny wooden pieces that Fletcher had to measure to get just the right size! We found a big container of buttons and Fletcher had fun choosing buttons the right size for the wheels and the propeller.
We were so impressed we sent Fletcher over to share it with Mr Anderson and now you can see his plane on display in the school office!
Our next challenge is for Fletcher to teach others how to make one - he has practised on his friend James and now he is ready to run some workshops for others in Kohara to learn from him.
