The Peck Polymers R.O.G (Rise off Ground) Plane is one of the simplest rubber band powered planes. It uses a stick instead of a fuselage, and its flying surfaces are covered with light tissue on one side only. it has a simple landing gear so it can take off from any hard surface. A card table is ideal as a runway.  I flew this plane outside, and wound the rubber with extra turns on the second flight. Its light weight and the rising air of a sunny day allowed it to fly out of sight.
