"Crash!" goes the Wrong Flyer. "Zoom!" goes the Wright Flyer.
I saw a Wright Flyer model at a museum last week and I thought it would be fun to build it. Unfortunately I couldn't find the right pieces and my model turned into a Wrong Flyer. If I had the right pieces it would have had rectangular wings instead.
The Wright Flyer was first flown on December 17, 1903 and the flight lasted 59 seconds. The Flyer flew 825 feet. That was amazing for the time period and it was the first engine powered flight.
