The Wright 1899 Kite Flys Again! ...sort of
Damned if it ain't flew. Well sorta. On Tuesday we had chinooks here
in Boulder, so at lunch I snuck over to Scott Carpenter Park (uh huh that guy has a park named after him) and managed 14 flights with the replica Wright 1899 kite before it rendered itself unflyable. This may have been the first flight by a Wright machine in Colorado since 1910. Damage was limited to 3 broken ribs, a broken strut, 2 broken tail supports, and a fabric puncture. Not bad for 2 minutes' worth of flying. Harry Frey Wright Brothers Enterprises Frederick, CO
