I disagree. The Wright brothers made something before they decided to build airplanes. Prior to building airplanes they studied meticulously even observing the way birds fly to grasp the basics of flight dynamics thereby giving birth to the same principles of aerodynamics and engineering that we use today in designing aircraft.

In contrast, this company has a model airplane copied from a not so successful aircraft they stopped making over 20 years ago because it didn't sell enough to make money. Not only that, but the new "Integrity" design is nothing more than a "tarbaby" that any pilot who is not an expert and flying under ideal conditions with the weight of the passengers and luggage balanced just perfectly will crap his pants the first time he tries to land the thing in even the slightest of cross winds.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong but if the main market for this "mankiller" is puddle jumping. I would expect a bit of crosswinds upon take off and landing. I think a fair comparison is more like the three stooges than the Wright brothers. What do YOU think?
