Morning Darksheare.

I told Snippy the other day that the reason the Wright Brothers plane worked and the replica didin't was becasue the Wright Brothers didin't have to deal with OSHA, unions, Government regulations, the EPA, FAA, NASA, NPS, permits and all the other "rules"

LOL!
That, and teh Wright's didn't make exact plans of teh original plane, and no-one knows what the original TRULY looked like since the plane sitting in the Smithsonian is a good approximation made from the cobbled parts of the Number 3 aircraft and bits of the original.

All any reproductionist has to go on are notes, a few sketches, and the pictures.
And some shreds of the original muslin fabric the Wright's used with imprints of the wingspars on it.
