Its note
Splashery stretches a drumhead over this Splash's outline, twelve inches across, and finds the ways it can ring. Its lowest is 713.4 Hz, 137 cents sharp of E5, the nearest tine on the comb. The next fifteen are its overtones, and each one draws its own figure: sand gathers on the lines that stay still.

About it
This propeller plane is a biplane: it has two sets of wings, one above the other, held together by struts and wires. Two wings give a lot of lift for a light, slow plane. The spinning propeller at the front pulls it through the air. The Wright brothers' Flyer made a sustained, controlled powered flight in 1903; it was a biplane too.
Tap it to loop the loop: it climbs, flies up and over on its back in a big circle, and comes out level again. Pick the colors of the body and the wings in the Splash tab.
