12 Models - 30 Planes - 12 Display Stands
Presenting the greatest hits of powered aviation - here are easy-to-make, accurate, and airworthy replicas of 12 historically important planes. There's the Wright Flyer, changing aviation history with a 12-second maiden voyage. The Fokker Dr.I Triplane, famously and perhaps fatally painted bright red by the Red Baron, Manfred Von Richthofen. Plus the Ryan NYP - Spirit of St. Louis, Bell X-1, and Rutan/Yeager Voyager, the only aircraft ever to circle the globe without refueling, setting eight world records and returning to Edwards Air Force Base with a mere 18 gallons of fuel to spare. With 30 planes in all, there are at least two full-colored copies of each model - one for flying, one for show - plus fold-up stands to display them. Each model is meticulously detailed and comes with comprehensive folding instructions, along with tips on how to achieve the best flight. Includes a brief history of aviation, chart of famous aviators, stats, and specs. It's an air and space museum, ready to cut, fold, glue, and fly.
