This is a 1:1 scale 1911 Wright Glider made by me.
This is a glider that almost forgotten by everyone.
That glider broke world record in soaring duration, Orville flew it for 9 min 45 secs in a slope, and this is the first recorded slope soaring in the world. That record stood for 10 years until it was broken in Germany in 1921 by a German pilot.
WARNING : DON'T LAUNCH IT WITH HIGH SPEED
