I don't see anything that looks like ailerons on the wings, was he even

I see a control horn and aileron hinge line on the right wing. There are
also signs of hinges and a visible control wire for a rudder on the right
vertical stabilizer. The horizontal stabilizer isn't visible in the photo
I see.

I prefer Heaven for climate but Hell for company.


I stand corrected, it does have ailerons. However according to a blurb in
the AOPA e-newsletter it "...had no rudders, so crosswinds were a concern".

I'm sure it's entertaining and all, my gripe is with the comparisons to the
Wrights and the notion that this is some sort of serious attempt to fly.
