About Wright Flyer
The Wright Flyer, the first successful heavier-than-air powered aircraft, was designed and built by the Wright brothers. On December 17, 1903, they flew it four times near Kill Devil Hills. Constructed from giant spruce, it featured wings with a 1-in-20 camber. Lacking a suitable engine, they enlisted Charlie Taylor to craft a lightweight 12-horsepower gasoline engine from scratch.

Wasn’t aware it was a glued model – I am used to the non-glued variety – however, it was fun to build although it took ages as I had to wait for glued parts to dry thoroughly before progressing. It turned out great in the end!
