Default RE: Wright Flyer Kit or Plans

That question is too easy as if you want a good electric Wright Flyer at a reasonable price, build the Pat Tritle designed Dare Engineering kit which flies great! About $65 plus labor, covering and hardware. Here is mine with over 100 flights on it. Never crashed in normal flight but did get caught in a tree on the edge of the flight line that reached up grabbed it when I was flying in too close for the club photographer! A fall of twenty feet didn't improve it!

PS: yeh, there are some plastic ARF's of the Wright Flyer out there but after the Dare Pat Tritle design, I would not want one. Not very scale looking
