Does anybody happen to know the exact time of day that the first flight
took
place? I'm thinking it would be fun to take off as close to that moment as
possible (adjusted to my time zone, of course).

10:35 EST. If you are going to try to replicate the flight, try to go one
better than Orville and avoid breaking the "lever for throwing off the
engine" and the "skid underneath the rudder [by which he meant the canard
pitch control]".

Hmm, that's 7:35 AM my time. I'm not night current, so I wonder what time
the sun rises on that day? Anyone know of a place to look it up?
