Mr Allan Warren (left) and his brother, lan, of Christchurch, with their half-scale Skyhawk which they have built for the Birdman Challenge on Sunday. They spent 150 hours building the model from cardboard, glue, aluminium framing, and masking tape, at a cost of $400. The challenge involves “pilots” leaping from the Lyttelton wharf in an attempt to fly their creations the furthest. The Skyhawk will be entered in the “most novel” section of the challenge.
