On December 17, 1903, the Wright brothers flew their Wright Flyer for 59 seconds at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. This feat of machinery carried more than just a passenger, it ushered in a new era of travel.
Project information:
Number of pieces - 1279
Length - 13 inches / 51.5 centimeters
Width - 20.2 inches / 51.5 centimeters
Height - 7 inches / 17.6 centimeters
I built this model to see how far the limits of Lego can be pushed. Many new pieces have been created since set 10124 in 2003, so I felt a refit was necessary. I wanted to include details in this model that would highlight the real Wright Flyer. Examples I put into this model include the counter-rotating propellers (a first at the time), moving yaw flaps, and a black-painted engine that hid the aluminum alloy instead of steel.
The Wright Flyer would be a perfect LEGO set due to its historical features and the need for a new classic LEGO airplane. Great features of this model include: linked spinning propellers, removable stand, moving flaps, unique four-cylinder engine, 24 Lego cables and studless main wings. Overall, Expert aircraft were very popular for their look and feel. Some examples are the Boing 747 Dreamliner and the Sopwith Camel. The Wright Flyer would make a great addition to any collection.
