Model airplanes set the stage for full-scale aviation by allowing people to test theories of flight without risking their lives. Join us on a flight through the history of model aviation, a journey starting with a child’s toy top that ends with the most sophisticated jet engine technology. Meet the pioneers of flight, from Cayley to Penaud to the Wright brothers. Let's go! (with thanks to the curator and staff of the AMA Museum)
