The picture with the article clearly shows an aircraft that is not a replica
of the 1903 Kitty Hawk flyer. This replica had seats for two upright, and
appears to be closer to the Wright's military aircraft of 1905?

Awww, too bad. The two Gustav Weisskopf replicas flew easily enough,
proving that the Wrights were dead wrong when they claimed the GW
No.21 CANNOT FLY... just look at the design.
Time to admit the real first to fly sustained powered and controlled
flight was in 1901 with the GW No.21 and NOT in 1903 with the Wrights.


There were no Gustave Weiskopf replicas.
