Testing the Aircraft

1900: I haven't written lately because my brother and I have been in the village of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina testing our aircraft, maybe oh, more than 250 flights. We took the results from our tests in Dayton and built our full scale glider. We chose the outskirts of this city since it provides us steady winds, sand dunes for take off, a soft landing space, and privacy. We then came back to Kitty Hawk in 1901 and 1902 with an improved glider. Our accomplishment is that we have solved the problem of control and that we can now begin construction of a powered airplane and fly it.
