MTC7703  Wright Flyer RTF 15.5 inch

On December 17, 1903, the entire world changed. Far away lands did not move, but they grew closer. 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. The Megatech Wright Flyer was specifically designed to ensure that the rank beginner should have a successful and happy experience on their very first flight. The Wright Flyer's electronic and aerodynamic technologies were developed concurrently such that both work together creating a super stable and easy to fly R/C airplane.
