The propeller itself
will provide the basic impetus.

1:58:09
The men will mainly be
to give it direction.

1:58:13
Well, why n-not n-now?
1:58:17
It's too dangerous in the dark.
1:58:21
Well, I think maybe you're right.
It's too risky.

1:58:24
Go on.
1:58:28
Oh, well, one other thing.
1:58:32
It might be better
not to mention to the others...

1:58:36
...about being a toy plane designer.
1:58:52
Toy plane designer?
1:58:55
Lew and I feel it might upset them.
1:59:03
Mr. Tow....
1:59:08
Mr. Towns.
1:59:12
A toy plane is something you wind up...
1:59:16
...and it rolls along the floor.
1:59:21
A model aeroplane
is something totally different.

1:59:26
Model aeroplanes
have been flying successfully...

1:59:29
...more than 50 years before the Wright
Brothers ever got off the ground.

1:59:36
They were not toy planes.
1:59:39
- All right.
- I didn't know that, Frank, did you?

1:59:43
Nevertheless, it is a fact.
1:59:45
And there is something else
you should remember, Mr. Towns.

1:59:49
A model plane has to fly itself.
1:59:51
There is no pilot to correct the trim.
1:59:54
Therefore, a model plane
has to be designed...

1:59:57
...for greater stability than what
you are pleased to call the real thing.
