Demoiselle

Parabéns pelo aeromodelo, este foi o primeiro avião do mundo, nomeado de n°19, voou em 1907 quando Santos Dumont desvendou as forças do vôo através dos hidrofoils instalados em sua lancha, observou as forças aerodinâmicas em outro meio, a água, após isso todos os outros pioneiros, inclusive os Wrigth, correram para reforçar suas asas e aumentar os motores. O segredo foi a asa super resistente com os estais (cabos de aço). Ele demonstrava isso jogando pesos de 2kg em vôo, algo impensável para todos na época, logo os aviões da 1° guerra carregavam 400kg de carga e os da 2° gerra carregavam até 2ton.
Depois em 1908 foi renomeado de Demoiselle.
Abraços

The first flight of a heavier-than-air aircraft ever captured by a camera and witnessed by a live audience was performed by the Brazilian inventor Alberto Santos Dumont in Paris in 1906. The Wright brothers' first public flight took place in 1908, using French engines. Before that, they had refused to fly in front of an audience. The reason the Wright brothers did not perform a public flight before 1908 was that they were not ready. In 1903, the only aircraft they had was a glider. The supposed first flight was not possible because they didn't have an engine powerful enough to lift off and sustain flight. That is the truth. The myth created around the Wright brothers as the "inventors" of the airplane only emerged in the 1940s after an extensive marketing campaign by the Smithsonian. Before that, Santos Dumont was considered the first to fly a heavier-than-air aircraft.

Nice!

Don't sneeze near this airplane, it'll get airborne

What kit is this? or a scratchbuilt?

[@rctvsa]

This one was scratch built

[@flyguy017]

@@rctvsa Wonderful job. Are the wings foam? Do you just scale up or down some plans? What size wingspan and motor did you use? Thx

[@rctvsa]

@@flyguy017 Not mine unfortunately. The wings are foam, yes. Wing span about 2,5m if I recall

He's using a Wright propellor. His 14 bis was useless because it used dog paddles for propellors. Nobody could fly before they saw Wilbur Wright's propellors and everybody immediately started using them. Even Bleriot never would have crossed the Channel with the old pre-Wright prop's. The Wright Brothers invented the airplane

[@garrington120]

NO they did not . The Wrights invented a powered glider that needed a gantry, rails and heavy weight to catapult their glider to flying speed so it never actually achieved flight under its own power !!!

@@garrington120 --C'mon, Gary...how many times do you need to be corrected, before you stop repeating false information in these threads? The 1903 Wright Flyer did not use a catapult, nor did the 1904 Flyer initially. Moreover, the Wrights' later use of a catapult was a performance preference, not a necessity anyway. And your "glider" claim is altogether wrong. The original poster's comments about propellers is absolutely correct, and in fact not only did Santos-Dumont himself convert to using Wright-style propellers, but both 14-bis and Demoiselle look-alikes flying today use Wright-style propellers too. Why are you silent about that?

The propellers were not invented by wrigths, but by withehead, who already used them in his plane in 1901, and the aleirons, were created by the british Matthew Piers, and it was this that became standard, obviously, not the twisting of the wings, unfeasible with modern metal planes!😮😅
