a better control

Detail shot of the wing-flexing control mechanism for Rick Young's hand-built, functional replica of a 1911 Wright test glider. This is the glider that was used to improve in-flight stability after the Wright's had already achieved powered flight years earlier.

 

I felt like a little kid just having the privilege of seeing this thing let alone being allowed to photograph it with my 4x5 camera.
