The very first airplane ever made, the Wright Flyer was an astounding Aironautical feat being that all aircraft before this used baloons or unpowered lightweight gliders(whitch could only carry a single person and not heavy cargo) to take to the air

    Actually @DeezDucks I did more than just remove one part, I changed the engines, repainted the wings and changed the weight to somthing more controllable

    Nor really an amazing feat, people were building unpowered gliders for 100s of years beforehand all the wrights did was strap on an engine and make some controls,

    Why did you only remove 1 part? That's called trying to heat the system by saying it's not an exact copy when you removed one part...
