1 Wright Flyer The Wright Flyer is the aircraft built by the Wright brothers, Wilbur Wright and his younger brother Orville. The main wings were of biplane configuration, and it featured a gasoline engine and two 2.6m diameter propellers which were powered by a chain drive. It was revolutionary in the fact that it could hold a pilot, and it had a horizontal stabilizer in the front and a vertical stabilizer in the rear. The pilot could control the wings via a wire, and lay on his stomach to fly the plane. The plane saw its first successful flight in 1903, at Kitty Hawk in America's North Carolina, and the Wright Flyer is generally considered to hold the title of the first powered, piloted aircraft in the world. This Papercraft Wright Flyer is about thirty four the size of the real wright flyer. *This model was designed for Papercraft and may differ from the original in some respects. Parts list (Assembly Instructions) : Eleven A4 sheets (No.1 ~ No.11) No. of Parts: 127 *Bulid the model by carefully reading the Assembly Instructions, in the parts sheet page order. Assembly Instructions Mountain fold Make a Mountain fold Valley fold Make a Valley fold Scissors line Cut along the line Cut in Line Cut along the red solid line Wrap around and glue to the top of the cylinder. How to make the cylinders This craft involves making cylinders with diameters of 3 to 7mm, so it may be helpful to have some rods of sizes about 0.5mm thinner handy. Guide rod Glue tab notation key Each glue tab has a symbol and number printed on it. Glue with in the same part. Glue Completed parts become a cylinder You may like to use a metal rod as a guide. Layer wrapping (roll) Wrap around and glue to the cylinder,to use as a glue tab Trace along the folds with a ruler and a used pen (no ink) to get a sharper, easier fold. Glue, scissors and other tools may be dangerous to young children so be sure to keep them out of the reach of young children. PAGE01

6 After attaching 3-J to 6-B, attach 7-B. 7-B 3-H Glue at the reverse side. 3-O 4-A/4-B Insert inside. 3-K 6-B 3-N 4-O 4-A 3-N Glue at the reverse side. 3-N Glue at the reverse side. 4-B 7-B 4-A and 4-B are different shapes. Be careful not to mix them up. 6-B Side Where to attach the front horizontal stabilizer 3-P and the column support 2-E/3-E 3-J As shown in the figure on the left, attach the 2-E/3-E column support 2-E/3-E to the inside of 3-P, 3-M and the top of the column support 3-M, so that the main wings are horizontal when the model is viewed from the side.

8 4-A at the main wings' center 10-C 10-D Be sure to glue with the front side facing forward. 10-B 10-A Color the backs of 10-A ~ 10-D with a gray marker. Attaching 10-A ~ 10-D to 4-A Begin by gluing 10-B/10-D from 4-A at the center of the main wings, and work outwards in order.10-a ~ 10-D are very thin pieces. The paper may stretch when you cut them out, so be sure that they are not bent when you glue them. 3-Q Be sure to glue with the front side facing forward. 4-A at the main wings' center Attach to 4-C/5-P 4-C/5-P 10-B/10-D 4-A 4-A Attach to the underside. 10-D 10-A/10-C 10-B 10-A/10-C should be attached to 4-A so that the triangle is in the center of 4-A, but it is possible that the paper might stretch, so place priority on keeping the paper smooth, rather than its position. PAGE08 After gluing 10-B/10-D to 4-A, attach to the vertical center of 4-A. 3-Q

9 5-E/5-F 5-G 5-I 5-H This part is used for keeping the propeller shaft horizontal. Check that it is horizontal to the main wings before attaching it. 7-E 6-D 6-C Layer the three pieces and attach. Propeller Layer the three pieces to make two propellers. 4-K/4-I 5-K 5-A/5-D 5-K 5-S 5-K 4-J/4-H Propeller 5-A/5-D 5-B/5-C 4-J/4-H 5-S 5-S 5-K Attach 5-K by rolling it around the part. To allow the propellers to spin, insert 5-S and the propellers without using glue. PAGE09

Attach at the point where the triangle part on 5-L/5-M meets the triangle part on 4-D/4-E and 4-F/4-G. 5-L/5-M Attach 10-E/10-F to 4-B in the same way as 10-A/10-D. 4-D/4-E 4-F/4-G 10-E Attach 4-B to the spot indicated on the main wing side. Attach 10-E/10-F to 4-B in the same way as 10-A/10-D. 5-L Where to attach to 5-N 5-N Assembling the vertical stabilizer 5-N 10-F Color the backs of 10-E,10-F with a gray marker. 5-L/5-M 5-L/5-M Attach to the underside. 5-M 4-D 5-O 5-N 5-J Attach to the underside. PAGE10 4-E 4-D/4-E and 4-F/4-G are identical parts. Do take care, though, to attach the correct end to the main wings.
