Description

Radio Flyer ultralight airplane miniature from Radio Flyer. (Columbia Pictures, 1992) This flight filming version of the "Flyer" consists of a plastic "Radio Flyer" wagon shell with balsa wood railing and wired lights, mounted to a wood, styrofoam and metal miniature airplane. The wagons wheels have been mounted below the plane body with additional spoked wheels extending from the midsection. The plane has a 67 in. wingspan and is 55 in. long. It has a metal mount at the front and has wired and moveable ailerons, elevators and rudder. Includes a collection of (7) production blueprints detailing the construction of the plane achieved in pencil, ink and line printing on rolled paper of varying sizes. In Radio Flyer the wagon contraption is the key to a young man's escape from an abusive step-father. The plane and wagon exhibit degrees of production distress, breaks to the wagon rails and one set of wagon wheels are detached with one wheel no longer present. Mechanicals and electronics are untested. Provenance: The collection of Grant McCune.
