Abstract
A model airplane includes a main body component, a wing component, a horizontal stabilizer component, and a vertical stabilizer component. At least some of the components are fabricated of a shell of lightweight wood with spaces therebetween. A sheet of lightweight plastic material covers each of the components. The material is wrapped around the components with an individual sheet for the components. The plastic material is lightweight with a thickness of between about 0.65 and 0.85 mils and has the ability when heated to contract to about 25 percent of its original size.
