The Sky Bunny is a Bill Warner design, intended as a second or third step for budding modelers. It has long been available as a kit from Peck-Polymers and remains popular with beginners and more experienced modelers alike. Its basic construction and proven flight characteristics make this model a quick build and relaxing sport flyer for all.
Inspired by the Second International Sky Bunny Postal Contest held over Labor Day Weekend, Gryffin and I decided to build a couple of models to enter. Like the Prairie Birds we built over the summer, he worked with a laser cut kit from Peck-Polymers while I built mine from plans. | |
My Sky Bunny is finished in Esaki tissue pieced together using a glue stick to represent a Norwegian scheme.

The Sky Bunny is a great flyer and perfect introduction for building and covering basic models. | |
