EAA's Bleriot flew this evening!

They did test runs last night & this morning, then as the winds died down this evening, having made some adjustments to the horizontal stab, it actually got off the ground.

The coolest parts for me were the smoke from the castor oil & hearing the original 1910 Anzani engine. Just fantastic

As you can imagine, lots of photos, and video. Should be some video on EAA website soon.

It was in the air for about 6 seconds, and flew maybe 100 feet.

This photo was taken by Zach Baughman.....
