The wing and h-stab is built out of 1/16" 
square balsa.  The best time I got in the 
silo was only 38 seconds, but the heater 
was on.  
 
The Silo is privately owned by a family 
in Rochester for indoor rock climbing.  
It has a diameter of about 35 feet and 
is 65 feet tall!  It took a pretty 
tight-turning plane like this to fly in 
there and the inside wing was almost 
flattened by the banking of the plane.  
 
I'm 18 years old and a senior at 
Rochester High School in Illinois.  
I'm ,,killing three flies with one 
slap" as my German teacher put it;  
It is for Science Olympiad,   
4-H aerospace, and also I'm doing 
a science fair project with it.   
 
Sincerely,
    Tim Shotts
