"...Charles E. Taylor, the largely unsung mechanical wizard, without whom 2003 would mark the 100th anniversary of the Wright brother's fourth year of glider experimentation."

Check out my article in Sport Aviation - I tried to give Charlie Taylor the credit he deserves. However, a lot of the text in that article was edited out for space concerns - even some of the Charlie Taylor accolades. My fault, Scott Spangler gave a limit of 3,000 words. The one I submitted was about 4,000..!!

I enjoyed the tour thru history you provided. Well done!

Here's another worth repeating:

"With all the hoopla surrounding the 100th anniversary of powered flight, one aspect often gets overlooked--the 'powered' component."

Thank you - and the "powerd" component really does get overlooked. CBS News had a piece on the Ken Hyde/Scott Crossfield efforts. Must have been a 10 minute segment. Not one word about the power plant was mentioned.
