The only mistake the Wright Brothers made was to put an engine on
their GLIDER!

Ma Nature had them beat by a few million years. The Wright Bros. were
doing their best to catch up. Their motor, though far from perfect,
was hardly a mistake.

The soaring birds they studied were "self-launchers", none being
"cripples" that could only soar! To this day, 106 years later, ALL
successful raptors still practice self-launching. And though it's
quite obvious they much prefer to soar, they'll reluctantly flap their
wings and motor away when the lift piddles out or simply looks better
"over there".

"Self-launchers" are natural! Motorless craft are cripples!
