First flight of the Wright Flyer on Netersel model airfield



These are the pictures of the first real flight of the Wrightflyer at the model-airfield near Netersel where we also do our observing with the telescopes. It is a beautiful airplane, everything is constructed by hand, except for the engine. This has been a project that took years, the (already very experienced) pilot had to train himself in flying this airplane doing small jumps. It took him about 1 year to master it, including many finetuning/modifications on this airplane. But he succeeded!
