American aviation history is memorialized with this Mastercraft original from Kukuding.com - the ALWAYS FIRST SERIES Wright Flyer wood model aircraft display! A compact space-saving display easily set up on a table, or conveniently hung on a wall. This wood model aircraft of Orville and Wilbur Wright's Kitty Hawk flyer is is completely handcarved from mahogany wood and fully handpainted; it is set on a letter-sized display base with Old Glory as its backdrop. The American flag is hand-cut and hand-assembled from graphic transfer material. A clear-coated brass plate completes the display. For those who love America and her achievements in aviation aerospace history, this is a very meaningful and relevant collectible! Only from Showcasemodels.com!



The Flyer was based on the Wrights' experience testing gliders at Kitty Hawk between 1900 and 1902. Their last glider, the 1902 Glider, led directly to the design of the Flyer.

The Wrights built the aircraft in 1903 using 'giant spruce' wood as their construction material. Since they could find no suitable automobile engine for the task, they commissioned their employee Charlie Taylor to build a new design from scratch. A sprocket chain drive, borrowing from bicycle technology, powered the twin propellers, which were also made by hand.

The Flyer was a canard biplane configuration. The pilot flew lying on his stomach on the lower wing with his head toward the front of the craft. He steered by moving a cradle attached to his hips. The cradle pulled wires which warped the wings and turned the rudder.

The Flyer's "runway" was a track of 2x4s stood on their narrow end, which the brothers nicknamed the "Junction Railroad."
