Popular Science has a card model that is motorized using capacitors as power. They recommend salvaged motor and squadron for a canopy and it looks like the canopy is installed back wards? Any one else think its funny?
(note the backward canopy is in the article at this site
http://www.popsci.com/popsci/how20/2341dd5fc7c72110vgnvcm1000004eecbccdrcrd/5.html) The one in the main paige looks OK.
Its supposed to be a texan or a zero...hmmm....

I noticed that too. I just thought that it was a little silly. Here is a person with the intelligence to design a powered plane using a pager motor but doesn't know which way the canopy goes. Most likely the author was probably in a rush to get the article out and just got a little sloppy.

It's only supposed to be a "zero" in the sense of the "zero's" that were in the movie "Tora Tora tora" which were really repainted Texans.
