I think that thing had a 4-cylinder engine with no carburetor. Drip fuel supply. Amazing it didn't crash and burn.

...And amazing they didn't die while trying. This was a High risk operation. My God!!

We went in 1966. The shed they lived in had some canned goods still lining the walls.

I just watched your LL Bean review. If that is you?...Then great job. Highly entertaining!

the sad thing is that the brothers were in it for the money, they delayed the advancement of maned flight with all their patents covering every aspect of controlled flight even controls they didn't use in their flights. every other flight pioneer was hampered by the wright brothers umbrella patents.

Heaven forbid they protect their time energy and intellectual investments! You’re one of those “for the good of the people” Harris voters aren’t you?
