LARGE 1903 WRIGHT BROS FLYER - Large Size Items
Item Number: JL222

We are happy to offer "Layaways" on larger orders (over $50,00). We also will allow you to use a coupon on a Lay-Away. Please contact us if you would like to use this option or if you have any questions about this option or any other question. We ask for at least 10% down or $10.00 which ever is higher and we also ask that you make regular payments. A payment could be $4.00 and we will be happy since you made the effort to keep the payments coming. If you stop making payments, after 45 days with no payments, you layaway will be closed and the item will be returned to inventory for sale again.

If you make a payment within 7 days after the 45 days, we will reinstate your layaway as if nothing happened, but we will only allow this grace period one time.

If there are circumstances that make the possibility of a payment a hardship, just talk to us. We are reasonable and will work with you, but you have to keep talking to us. I have Multiple Sclerosis (love my wheel-chair!) and so I understand the problems that can come up in life, like being too weak to get into my wheel chair to get around to answer emails. This happens occasionally and so just work with us and we will work with you.

Please let us know if you are interested in doing a layaway on anything. And yes we will work with those under 18 with their parents permission. So you teen collectors, please feel free to ask, we will work with you and treat you with respect.

Well here it is in the middle of summer and we have lowered prices on most items in our inventory. To make this even better, here is a coupon that you may use as many times as you want until this expires at the end of October! Use code midsump0102009 at checkout on orders over $49.95

sts03119 if entered at closing out the shopping cart will get you 30% off of anything you purchase, if purchase is over $49.95.

This is the most incredible piece you could add to any collection and if you a plane fan, then this is a must have! A full 5 foot wide 3 1/2 feet deep and almost 2 feet tall! Just an incredible item to have.

The Wright Flyer (often retrospectively referred to as Flyer I and occasionally Kitty Hawk) was the first powered aircraft designed and built by the Wright brothers. The flight is recognized by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale, the standard setting and record-keeping body for aeronautics and astronautics, as "the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight".

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 not find a 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 simultaneously.

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

These metal replicas are all hand shaped, hand painted, and solder. Made of tin and other metal wiring. Each item is carefully crafted to ensure a recognizable replica is made, causing the average item 40 man-hours to complete. These metal replicas are for home decoration only, not to be used as a toy for children.
