Model Kits / D-10 Wright Flyer I
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, a 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 year Orville Wright made his historic flight.
The builder determines the level of detail for this model and may
need to supply additional materials.
