Wrights are NOT on any official record as making a bona fide powered flight taking off from level ground and landing at the same elevation, flying under their own power (vs. "soaring" or "gliding", requiring a 22 mph headwind), and landing without damage.
You and someone else keep mentioning that "glide" at Kitty Hawk, that has a slope.
Never been there, but how much of a slope is there?
