  • This video shows you step by step how to turn an aluminum can into a nice toy plane. This toy would be used for children above the age of 9. Not for small children.
    See the detailed instructions with video at
    • Make a WW II airplane ...
    Ingredients: 2 aluminum cans, a sheet of clean paper, a pencil, a sharpie marker (to draw on the cans), a pair of scissors, (optional- thin wire from a paperclip and wire cutters)
    1: Find two clean aluminum soda cans that are empty. Clean them out and allow to dry. Cut the cans to make an aluminum sheet.
    2: Take the clean sheet of paper and draw the parts of the airplane as shown in the video.
    3: The plane parts must be small enough to fit the size can that you have selected.
    4: Use the scissors to cut out the plane parts, remember that you will need to leave room to allow folding of these parts together as seen in the video.
    5. Take the paper parts and use them as a template for creating the aluminum parts.
    6. After marking on the shape of the parts you need, cut the aluminium parts out with the scissors.
    7. Fold the parts together and use a small amount of any brand of metal glue to hold together. Fold and bend part together to make a tight hold on matching parts.
    8. Bend wings to look like real plane as seen in video.
    9. Draw markings on the plane with the marker to add realistic effects.
    Please note that any plane can be made from an il2, or SBD-5 1943, to a P-38! You can use the Internet to find pictures of planes to create.
    Use caution!
    The edges that were created in my planes were not sharp enough to break my skin. But use caution when cutting the aluminum cans to create the sheets.
    The toys created in this way are not intended for young children who do not know how to handle small toys.

    This is the 1st video, I have uploaded a much better version with a camera on a tripod for that one. Hope you watch the other video and hope that helps you. Thanks for your positive input. Hope to hear more from you.

    Could it fly if you bend the wings to produce lift?

    They fly only for a short distance. When you throw them. Like a control free fall.

      I've been building and flying RC planes and helicopters for over 30 year's. And,I'm saving EVERY can comes in this house now. Be sure to rinse them,"note to self". I've micro electric motors,servo's,receivers and,batt's.
      It will be a wood prop. Firewall will be tough, Why didn't I see this 10 year's ago?
      I'm thinking a piper cub, it's my go 2 park flier. TU.

      They fly like a heavy paper plane, with a little toss, they loose altitude pretty quick though.
