“Mr. Cunningham sits in a small airplane, which has two blue wings, and a small grey 2x4 plate as the tail wings. While the plane itself has no steering mechanisms, the piece in front of Mr. Cunningham seems to be used as a steering bit. In front of that is a small propeller,... More used for flying the machine. The undercarriage hosts two wheels with blue hubs blue and black tires. The set includes 1 minifigure: Mr. Cunningham.”
