It just makes the Wright's first flight that much more inpressive. 
Here modern folks are with practically unlimited financial
support, with flight simulators to practice flying, and still 
have a hard time getting airborn. The Wrights were certainly
determined guys.

Yes they were no doubt remarkable people. One big difference is they had a lot
more experience flying unstable canard gliders with more or less the
same control system. I tried to fly a Wright full size hip cradle simulator 
at Sun and Fun and crashed in less than 5 seconds. TWICE!!!! :)
