History On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers made the first successful controlled flight of a heavier-than-air flying machine at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This aircraft, known as the Wright Flyer, was the result of a four-year long program of research and development conducted by Wilbur and Orville Wright beginning in 1899. The Wright brothers had a passing interest in flight as youngsters.
Introduction This Historic Wings kit is made from etched brass for the main structure, with cast metal detail parts. The flying surfaces can be covered with the tissue paper supplied, although many modellers may prefer to leave the structure uncovered to show the details. Brass components can be soldered together, or joined with cyanoacrylate (SuperGlue) or 5-minute epoxy.
