Model Planes
Model Air Planes resources: history information links: sport rules
The first rubber-powered model plane can be credited to the French aviation enthusiast, Alphonse Penaud. Initially he experimented with rubber-powered model helicopters but later turned to building model planes powered by rubber. The Wright brothers were first exposed to flight by the toy helicopter their father gave them based on the helicopter developed by Penaud.
The first model airplane clubs started in the New York City area as early as 1907.
