YOUTUBE VIDEOS AIRPLANE CANS

Soda Can F-16 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTjxcdWf-18 This video goes great from beginning to the end. The guy shows you exactly what you have to do. The object that he used the most were scissors and glue. This is something that i am going to get for sure. He shows you to make the nose of the airplane. He also shows you how to make the little room where the drive goes. This made the airplane have its own characteristic. The problem with the video iss that the airplane is very small. This means that he only used a small amount of cans. The other problem was that the video had no audio. That is something that could make the video better. how to make an airplane http://www.aniboom.com/animation-video/402246/How-to-make-an-airplane/ This video was also great. It had young teens working on the airplane. If they can do it, i can to. the video just helped out so much. I was wondering how to start off. the video for sure gave me the best idea. The video just made me eager to get my hand on those cans. The way it helped was that it showed me how to begin and how to end. They used foam to make the skeleton of the airplane. After that, they just glued the cans. This will help anyone who has a problem starting the airplane like i did. I would greatly recomend this video. How to cut a can https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2qMEGgH4ic I know the video is short. The reason that i got it was because of the content it contained. To me, it had the most important of all. It was the way to cut a can. This will be used trmendously through out the whole project. I was wondering how to cut the can. The good thing was that i ran into this video. The guy he was cutting seemed like he had practice doing this. thie reason was because he cut the can tremendously easy. He didnt even struggle. He also gave me the idea of cutting all of the cans first and then just use the ones that I cut to save some time.

the best videos

The two best videos that i think will help me is one of my video and one of d'angelo's viedo. on his video, there are two girls that are making a hovercraft. theirs work fine in smooth ground. they took it outside and it didnt work out. they saw their problem which was that it was to low. they dicided to put the skirt more loosely. this helped them move in all types of ground except for water. the friction was reduced and made it harder to steer. my video will help me because they give you an idea of how to make it. they also give you an idea for steering. the first video had problems with this. since they reduced friction a lot, they couldnt turn good enough. i mean they were using water gung. i mean really.waterguns?? that is how the videos are going to help me build my hovercraft.

15-20 sentences

The videos that I posted helped me start my hovercraft. I have an idea of how to do it now. The shapes that i saw was an oval, a rectangle, and a hexagon. i think i am going to go with the regular and most often used. one of the videos have also helped me to get an idea of how to make it turn. they used two pieces of wood to make it turn. the driver had a string on the fans. the best idea is to use light stuff. we should use stiro foam for a chair and put the leaf blowers iunder it. im going to try to put as much weight in the sides to even thing out. we are also are going to use a light person. You might ask why, right. the reason is to keep the hovercraft light as possible. the reason is to keep it off the ground.im going to use ideas from all of the videos. this would make it very powerful and invisible.
