It wasnt all that its made out to be. There was a much longer sustained flight in Brazil a few months later and that vehicle was completely self propelled while the Wright Brothers plane was dependent on favorable weather conditions (which may be why the replica didnt work). Shortly after that there was one in Austrailia and Germany I believe. Props to them for getting off the ground first but their plane wasnt even the best one to fly that year.
