Mitre boxes and fine tooth hand saws can make this job much easier.
Build a balsa wood rubber band airplane.
Some kits require you to cut balsa sticks at precise lengths and angles to create truss structures.
A hobby knife and sandpaper will cover most building tasks.
Usually the propeller is spun around to create the necessary tension on the rubber band.
Take the propeller and some beads.
Then cut another piece of a paper clip and distort it to a straight bar.
Then adhesive an other bead straight to the circular piece of balsa wood behind the center.
This type of balsa wood model airplane is very similar to the previous one mentioned but is powered by spinning tension on a rubber band.

1 adhesive bead straight into the propeller.
This rubber band is secured to the rear of the plane and the propeller.
