An older video but some good footage on construction and of course, flight. Fragile kites!

Thank you for that. I wonder what engines they used. I think it would have been fun to fly.

Thanks for posting the video Chris. My first thought when I saw the Bleriot being assembled was if IKEA ever got into selling airplane kits, the Bleriot would be the first one.

I'm not sure which rotary, and no info in comments or description I'm afraid.

I can just imagine the panic of the builder of an IKEA kit Bleriot on completeing his aircraft, and wondering where the four extra nuts and bolts in his hand where meant to go.
