1903 Wright Flyer

This is my very first biplane design. I chose it because it is iconic and a friend challenged me to make one.

The Wrigit Flyer is definitely one of the most complicated planes I’ve made. In total there are 37 pieces on one sheet of paper. It‘s also my first time having a hollow fuselage and making struts.

Just like the WhiteWings one, it is meant to be hand launched but I added a small catapult hook just for testing. I tried my best to get the look accurate but this is certainly very simplified.

I really love this look and I’m even more happy that it can fly although it is more of a display model. Overall this is probably one of my favourite models.

I may be a paper plane dork, but this is a beautiful launch technique

I saw this woman launch a white wings on a Japanese competition video and thought it was pretty slick.

Full video of the competition here:

Now, I admit I'm into paper planes, but analyzing launch technique is next level dork stuff. What do you think, have I gone off the deep end?
