I have already presented the impossible case of Charlie Taylor.
see: The Wright brothers just glided in 1903. They flew in 1908.

This mechanic simply did not have the knowledge and experience to build an internal combustion engine, a motor that could not be found on the market in 1903.

Add to this the fact the 1903 engine has not survived. Its existence is just a claim. What is presented now as the 1903 motor is a latter alleged reconstruction of the original, same as the 1903 Flyer itself.

Ah - I had forgotten that you are the worlds greatest expert on all things !

You have not proved anything so far except perhaps something about your own character -
