First, I want to let you know this is NOT MINE and I am NOT TAKING CREDIT FOR IT. If you've seen this before, the instructions used to be available on the original k'nex website. I build it then, and forgot about it until I found it a while ago. I enjoyed it, so I figured I'd share it with you.

Watch closely on where you position these pieces. Follow the images closely.

This plane is fragile, and it will likely fall apart at some point, especially if you have large fingers. Just be patient, and hopefully you'll get it sooner or later.
