Wright Flyer

G.R.,

Well, at least this one can get off the ground.


that's not the point. A replication of the Wright's getting off the
ground is done every day by thousands of aircraft. Replicating the
aircraft as faithfully as possible is done by one single group.

Didn't mean to stir all you guys up posting the accident report.

Thought that somone from the Redux Association, or knows about them,
might jump in and tell us what they hope to do and what happened in
this case.

Sounds like their plane was reduxed to rubble. I suppose they'll have to
redux it.

Nice one, John! LOL
