"With twelve horse power at our command, we considered that we could permit the weight of the machine with operator to rise to 750 or 800 pounds, and still have as much surplus power as we had originally allowed for in the first estimate of 550 pounds."

Power
"With all the knowledge and skill acquired in thousands of flights in the last ten years, I would hardly think today of making my first flight on a strange machine in a twenty-seven mile wind, even if I knew that the machine had already been flown and was safe."
Knowledge
"We laid the track on a smooth stretch of ground about one hundred feet north of the new building."
Building
"If we all worked on the assumption that what is accepted as true is really true, there would be little hope of advance."
Hope
"The course of the flight up and down was exceedingly erratic, partly due to the irregularity of the air, and partly to lack of experience in handling this machine. The control of the front rudder was difficult on account of its being balanced too near the center."
Experience
"No data on air propellers was available, but we had always understood that it was not a difficult matter to secure an efficiency of 50% with marine propellers."
Research
"The airplane stays up because it doesn't have the time to fall."
Time
"In just six weeks from the time the design was started, we had the motor on the block testing its power."
Design
"The ability to do this so quickly was largely due to the enthusiastic and efficient services of Mr. C.E. Taylor, who did all the machine work in our shop for the first as well as the succeeding experimental machines."
Work
"We left Dayton, September 23, and arrived at our camp at Kill Devil Hill on Friday, the 25th."
