Purchased model to help 11 year old grandson w/school project. He picked Wright Bros and needed to do a poster about something. He picked the air plane, so I got to re-live my childhood. I had two work stations and we both built half, there were two wings, two elevators, and two rudders. He got to see me do mine, and then I helped him with his. We did it all together, he even tissue papered his half. Great bonding, and he was very proud of his airplane. When he made his poster, he really knew what a rudder was for and adjusting it would yield what results. He learned big time, how to make angled wood joints, how to use some glue instead of gobs of glue. I think a lot of learning in the 3D. Looking at the 1D templates, then the finished pictures and visualizing how to put it together.

This is a fun item to build. It has a lot of delicate parts and many pieces that you need to make from stock wood. It is educational because the build is just the way a real airplane wing is made. The fuselage is way different from today's fuselage construction, but it is informative as to the first flight. All in all it is fun to build for something to do in spare time and it will hang from the ceiling of my workshop.
