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.

In 1851, Henson and Stringfellow
built a rubber-powered model...
2:00:09
...that flew 600 meters
before encountering an obstruction.
2:00:14
Aerofoil surfaces, lift
and drag coefficients...
2:00:17
...weight-thrust equations and
the whole pattern of modern aviation...
2:00:21
...originates from right there.
2:00:34
Well, where is he?
2:00:39
I'll go and get him.
2:00:52
Here he is.

Our friend Dorfmann's a bit impatient.
