the country of origin was supposedly renowned amongst other achievements for both the first successful man powered flight and first aerial fatality......
Looks like a Glasair but half the weight and half the power and not from the US
Sorry, but all my referencies state that Orville? Wright crashed and killed his passenger in the US. AFAIK, the first Man powered flight [to be recognised] was the Gossamer Albatross....
Now I know that Cranfield were doing MPF, so is it a British design?
