Primeval flying Rex
The latest in the radio controlled flying creature series from Wowwee, the flying Rex is a fun RC flyer that is suitable for all of the family.
An ultra light, dual wing design and high-flex crash resistant structure make Rex safe to fly anywhere, even in small indoor spaces. Rex is an easy to fly aeronautical marvel that can soar, dive bomb or glide for a soft landing!
The Coelurosauravus, otherwise known as Rex, is a flying reptile from the Permian period about 250 million years ago. He appears in the first programme and immediately bonds with Abby, so that when they try to return him to his time he sneaks back to be with her. For the rest of the series she keeps him, secretly, in her flat with the central heating on full to suit his exotic tastes (there were no ice caps in the Permian period).
Rex is based on a smaller reptile (about half Rex's size) called Coelurosaravus jaeckeil found in Germany. His wings were formed by extensions of his ribs but he could not fly, only glide. He is, however, the first known vertebrate flyer because he predates the pterosaurs.
