...but that just pushes the question one step further: WHY are these
people putting so much effort in recreating the Wright flyer, when
there are so much better airplanes available today?  :-)
 
When asked why one does these things, wouldn't it be enough to say
"Because I enjoy it" ????   I mean, are there any other reasons to
do it?
 
And in 50 years, people will probably re-create the Concorde.... :-)))))
