Excerpt
Wilbur Wright said, "If you are looking
for perfect safety, you will do well to sit on a fence and watch the birds. But if you really wish to learn, you must mount the machine and become acquainted with its tricks by actual trial. Watch the birds in flight, You'll learn more about flying from that than anything else."
