Model Airplanes

As one of the hand-on projects for the first section of the book Hatchet, Chapters 1 to 4;  students made model airplanes.  An airplane is an important part of the story, as Brian was traveling on a Cessna 406 to visit his father in the Canadian oil fields.  The pilot had a heart attack while flying the plane, therefore Brian had to figure out how to fly and land the plane.
