Luton Minor Model Plane and Armchair Draughting Table:

Today's first reinvention project sets the bar sky high! Dr Shini and her team are challenged to design and build a scale replica of an iconic vintage aeroplane: the Luton Minor.

The Luton Minor dates back to the 1930s - the golden age of aviation - when, incredibly, Practical Mechanics offered its readers detailed instructions on how to build their own aeroplane, from the comfort of their back garden shed!

After their initial attempts at model building get off to a disastrous start, the team are provided with inspiration, when a real Luton Minor plane makes a surprise visit to the airfield.

Woodworker Jacob and aircraft designer Ivan are given a second project; an armchair drafting table. It's a project that hinges, quite literally, on Jacob's joinery skills and Ivan's flair for mechanical design.

When a major design flaw in the model aircraft build puts a spanner in the works, the team are forced to draw upon all their engineering skills to try and make this tricky reinvention project fly.
