Reconstructed 1903 Wright Flyer Bicycle Hub

The soft sand was too deep for wheels underneath the flyer to work properly. The hub of a bicycle wheel was attached to the front skids and guided the plane down a narrow, 60-foot wooden rail. The remainder of the plane rested on a wooden dolly that remained behind when the plane took off.
