Wright Flyer I Model Airplane

 The Wright Flyer was also known as the Flyer I and sometimes Kitty
Hawk. It was an experimental airplane designed and built by the Wright
Brothers. It was the first sustained controlled heavier-than-air
powered flight.

Warplanes.com offers the Wright Brother Flyer I model airplane on 30%
sale. It has a span of 20 inches and length of 10 inches. It was a
complete replica of the original aircraft and it will be a perfect
desktop display.

Not that it has anything to do with motorcycles, but the Wrights,
assuming that their 1903 claims are true, were still at least eight
years after the first such flight, which took place in Paris in 1895.
That's a flight leaving level ground under its own power. Powered
glides, which would fit your description, had been made even earlier.

The assumption that their claims were true may be stretching it.
Although they wanted to sell airplanes to anybody who was buying, when
the Brits came over to evaluate their plane, and ready to place an
order, they declined to demonstrate it in 1906.

There were three points to the Wright's flight--sustained, controlled,
and heavier than air.  The only record I can find of a flight in Paris
in 1895 was of the Avion III, which supposedly made one and only one
flight--whether it was a controlled flight or not depends on who you
believe, some sources say that it crashed.  It never flew again in any
case.  There is a photo of the Wright Flyer airborne at Kitty Hawk in
1903, ergo there is no question that their claim was true.  They made
more than 105 flights in the next year and in another year were flying
tens of miles.  Or are you saying that in 1908 they magically appeared
in Paris with a fully controllable airplane far more capable than any
other in the world at the time having done absolutly no prior research
and development?


They did not "decline to demonstrate it", the refused to demonstrate
it to anybody prior to the signing of a contract.  Today they would
probably have simply required a non-disclosure agreement but at the
time such things were unknown.  They didn't seem to be all that
interested in _selling_ anyway.

Ahh, but isn't that why we all read reeky ? To learn the
real truth that the government apologists and stooges
don't want you to know ?

You say there are photos of the 1903 Kittyhawk and 1908
Paris fights. And I suppose you never heard of photoshop ?

How sad that you never learned critical thinking.

Well, if you think that the Wright Brothers had Photoshop then why is
it so implausible that they also had a little help from Kelley
Johnson?  I mean Dr. Who can transport one as easily as the other.
