Kitty Hawk Wright Flyer

585 Tommy1010  4 months ago

Orville and Wilbur Wright were two brothers who owned a bike repair shop. They had a dream though. To fly among the clouds. So they acted on that dream and engineered the first heavier than air flying machine. The original KittyHawk required a complex launcher to take off and could not take off of its own power. The original aircraft also did not feature roll control. This version has roll, and can take off of its own power. It also has other historical inaccuracies. But it is a great model for what I could do.
