This 1/20 scale model kit of the first engine-powered flying machine to make a successful flight commemorates the dawn of powered flight. On December 17, 1903 Orville Wright launched the Wright Flyer I from a sand dune known as Big Kill Devil Hill near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The flight lasted for twelve seconds and a distance of 120 feet. The Wright Flyer I was the culmination of years of research and testing during which the brothers designed and built all the components of the Flyer including the propellers and engine.

Includes complete step-by-step instruction booklet with 38 color photographs to guide you through the building process.
 
This kit contains full instructions, full-size plan, printed balsa, hand-picked balsa strip wood, and tissue covering. In addition you will need a building board, hobby knife, glue, thread, and fine sandpaper. This is the "Original" kit that has been the choice for historic museum displays. The printed wood for this kit is printed on a 1903 printing press, the year the original plane was flown. The builder determines the level of detail for this model and may need to supply additional materials.
