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
