"COLIN LAMB"
thlink.net:

The greatness of the Wright Brothers was that they were not limited by
what they did not know.

The Bowlus was a unique approach to flight, The design lends itself
to learning skills to make a modern replacement using either rekindled
or entirely new process.


True, vbut it wasn't exactly groundbreaking technology in 1938, either. A
modern replacement's been done. I want a fairly close replica.. When i
talked to Steven DuPont abou tit, he said "What do you want to build a
piece of **** like that for? I'm building an HP18! Build one of those."
