A couple of recent threads have reminded me of this past summer one-hundred years ago when a brilliant Bavarian sailor chased and possibly realized man's dream of powered flight.

I know you will enjoy reading this Chip.

OT from the forum topic description... but just thought I'd mention it before the Wright Brothers festivities get started ;)

Thanks for the link Rod F.
Due to communication of the times It's possible the Wright brothers were not the first but that's a whole different can of worms here. I only live a very short distance from Dayton Ohio ,the Wrights birth place, and they are regarded highly. So I will keep silent. :-X
People chase you with torches and pitchforks here..not unlike a scene from Frankenstein.

Be well
