RC Junky

Carl Rankin, a model plane builder who creates impressive R/C planes out of take-out food cartons, drinking straws, sewing thread, Reynold’s wrap, and tape (among other things). There’s also a fun video that uses Wonder Bread like clay to create “dough-mation.”

Xeni introduces us to the amazing flying machines of Carl Rankin — they’re made from unusual materials, like drinking straws, tape, thread, even restaurant take-out boxes. The “Jules Verne” looks more like a clipper ship than a radio-controlled model plane. Next, you’ve seen claymation, but — dough-mation? “Behold the Wonder,” a short film by Ben Rodkin.
