Thanks s for reading!
Sooo, here is basically how I built the plane(but with added story of course).

The very first picture

was an aircraft that my dad designed when he was a kid(hence why the paper is so old). I tried making it here on SimplePlanes, and it was somewhat of a success.

And now, I'm designing my own plane, although the design might not be as detailed as my dad's.
Here's a rough sketch of when I first designed it

Anyways, hope you enjoyed reading this or something. Have a nice day!

P.S. Here's a link to the first part(in case you missed that it)
