Mechanical & Technical: Wright Brothers’ First Flight

I became interested in the Wright Flyer in mid 2003. It seemed a wonderful opportunity to build something fascinating. I started the project and then while researching the original craft, I discovered that the 100th anniversity of this flight was coming up December 17th, 2003. It was a race to complete the machine by that date. I made it with a few days to spare. I've been told there are a few details that are not authenic but in general, it is very close to the actual flight.
