Testing model aircraft

"The only thing dangerous about flying is the earth." (Wilbur Wright)

The ability to leave the earth's surface and fly through the air has long fascinated mankind. Otto Lilienthal was one of the first to realize this dream: he completed over 1,000 successful flight tests by sailing down from a hill using self-made wings. His experiments marked a milestone in aviation. You can carry out your own test flight in this experiment, using small model airplanes.
