Beats an ultralight!

The Curtiss Reims racer 1909 - over Grass airport.

Those were the days!

Pedal? Pedal? You take me for a primitive human beeing? This one has a real engine, with working pistons and all!

The "Rheinbek Aerodrome" in Rheinbek, NY has a "Curtiss Pusher" very much like that.
They only fly it at an altitude of a couple of feet down the length of the grass airstrip but, it`sight to behold for shure!  ;D

So many wire and struts, it`s amazing it can gain any speed at all.
