Curtiss America replica flies

I saw this at the WWI Aero forum:

Replica "America" Flight September 2008 Keuka Lake NY

There are also some other videos of the flight at Youtube under Related Videos.

This replica was built by the Glenn H. Curtiss Museum. They did a taxi test a year ago, and found it underpowered by the OX5 engines they were using. This year they were successful with OXX6 engines. Unfortunately they have not updated their website since the flight. It would be nice to know what the pilot thought of the plane.
