Model

Model aircraft might be constructed for experimental purposes, or for fun.

Models and very small unmanned aircraft go back to the beginning of aeronautics; see Bartolomeu Lourenço de Gusmão.

Construction of model airplanes became especially popular and clubs such as the Aero Science Club of America (and numerous regional affiliates) emerged for this purpose.
