Hi, Serpiko and cammoammo


Perhaps you guys did not know this: Our website here is for people of all ages. We want kids and their parents to feel comfortable with what they read.

I hope that you take a sense of humor to the changes which I made in your posts with the two words that I changed, okay?

:wink:

Totally understand and apologise :oops:

Nevertheless, do you know more about the reported episode?

[Fireskull]

No, I do not know, but it seems possible because the aircraft was so light in those days and easily influenced by things such as balance.

It was fun to read. I like crazy innovating and thinking quick like that.

Some cross-reference found, first post edited.

As a matter of fact, most pionieristic wanna-be-flying machines (I.E. Otto Lilienthal's gliders) were SUPPOSED to be controlled only by movements of pilot's weight, just as modern hang gliders do.

But, honestly, if I saw such a scene in a movie, i'd think "Bah! Hollywood fantasies!" at best. If just half of what reported is real, that's totally amazing anyway! 8)
