Airplane Toyboxes from TJs Flying Circus

The Original Airplane Toy Box

Airplane Toy boxes were created because I didn't have time to build a peddle plane for my 5 year old sons birthday.  The peddle planes you see at EAA are fantastic and the plans are very detailed.  The plans are overwhelming and my Dad (Grandpa Olson) and I only had a couple weeks to build an airplane for my son TJ birthday.  The peddle plane looked like the same amount of time to build as my  ultralight. which took a year.  We bought a piece of plywood on Saturday, a sixpack of beer and created plans on a napkin to create the first airplane toybox.  It took a weekend to build and a weekend to paint.
