Here's the link to the FG Wright Flyer.

I built a simpler version that I think they put out as a freebie for the Centennial of the Kittyhawk flight, but now it looks like they include it when you buy the regular one.

send me your e-mail and I will send one I found free. I have not built it and it is from a verrrrry old 2 page kit. No instructions. But have a go if you want.

I have the Orlik one and it is nice kit, though it will be pretty hard, IMHO. They do sell a laser cut kit for it (which I have), which I'd consider a MUST, since the thing has something like 76 reed-thin wing ribs and about a million other tiny thin skeleton parts. I can imagine one would go mad trying to cut all that from carboard.

Thanks Rick....

I might actually have a go at the Orlik one once I get some time again and once I get my employer straightened out on a few things, even if I have to drag the scumbag into court to do it :(

It does look like a really detailed model, certainly in line with Halinski quality.
