Oceans did not shrink, but they became far smaller. These changes didn’t take place instantly, but this is the day it all began. On that cold, windy December day, with his brother Wilbur watching, a bicycle shop owner named Orville Wright flew 112 feet in 12 seconds and became the first man to fly in a powered heavier-than-air craft. The age of the aircraft had begun.The Wright Brothers' fascination with flying dates back to their childhood, when their father, Bishop Milton Wright, brought them an amazing little toy, known as a hélicoptère. It was built of cork, bamboo and paper and was powered by two rubber bands. According to Orville, this amazing toy, which the boys called a bat, flew across the room till it struck the ceiling, where it fluttered awhile, and finally sank to the floor.” The fragile toy didn’t last long in the boys hands, but the ideas it sparked survived and grew. Soon they were building their own bats and later moved on to building and flying kites. The brothers' operated a bicycle shop to pay their bills, but Orville’s passion still pointed to the skies. By the 1890s, Wilbur was devouring every bit of information he could collect on the then, infantile science of aerial navigation or human flight.Wright Flyer RC Airplane Dimensions: 15 .375 Wingspan x 12.5 Long.Wright Flyer RC Airplane Features: CPU controlled twin motors for thrust vectoring Rechargeable nickel-metal hydride batteries Flyweight microchip receiver Twin micro motors Fail-safe circuitry 2 channel stick radio control with 1000-foot range Numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by Wright Family heir and President of Megatech, recognized and supported by the Wright Family Fund charitable foundation.Wright Flyer RC Airplane includes: 2 channel PCM transmitter/charger 2 NiMH battery packs History Booklet Numbered and Signed Certificate Display Stand minimize
