Where it all began!

[JG52Krupi]

While debating on what to do during these cold days of this most over exaggerated of seasons (and since I no longer have any exams or coursework to keep me busy whoo) I decided to make the Wright Flyer... where it all began.

Its made from a balsa wood Guillows kit but I do plan on making some modification to give it moveable surfaces etc...

So here it is day 1 of the build.


The lower wing almost complete.


Upper wing almost there as well.

So far its been quite fun, never made one of these before (okay okay, I did have a pop at a guillows Fw190 a few years back but I was too impatient and ended up forgetting about it until the fuselage turned up in pieces) and its been quite a few years since I made a model.

P.S. Before any of you get the notion of going into an argument over "who really was the first to make heavier than air flight" please do it in your own thread, you know who you are you thread hijacking colossal ?$&£%!
