All these features should be considered and studied
over and over, until you have made them your

While thus engaged, you are perfectly sure that
you can remember and act on a set of complicated
movements. You imagine that you are skimming
over the ground, and your sense tells you that you
have sufficient speed to effect a launching. In
your mind the critical time has come.

ELEVATING THE MACHINE.--Simply give the elevator
lever the proper angle, sharp and quick and
up you go. As the machine responds, and you can
feel the cushioning motion, which follows, as it begins
to ride the air, you are aware of a sensation
as though the machine were about to turn over
to one side; you think of the lateral control at
once, but in doing so forget that the elevator must
be changed, or you will go too high.

You forget about the earth; you are too busy
thinking about several things which seem to need
your attention. Yes, there are a variety of matters
which will crowd upon you, each of which require
two things; the first being to get the proper
lever, and the second, to move it just so far.

In the early days of aeroplaning, when accidents
came thick and fast, the most usual explanation
which came from the pilot, when he recovered,
was: "I pushed the lever too far."

Hundreds of trial machines were built, when
man learned that he could fly, and in every instance,
it is safe to say, the experimenter made the
most strenuous exertion to get up in the air the
first time the machine was put on the trial ground.

It is a wonder that accidents were not recorded
by the hundreds, instead of by the comparatively
few that were heard from. It was very discouraging,
no doubt, that the machines would not fly,
but that all of them, if they had sufficient power,
would fly, there can be no doubt.

HOW TO PRACTICE.--Absolute familiarity with
every part of the machine and conditions is the
first thing. The machine is brought out, and the
engine tested, the machine being held in leash

 You forget about the earth; you are too busy 
 thinking about several thing which seem to need 
 your care. Yes, there be a kind of matters

 It is a curiosity that accidents were not recorded

 but that all of them, if they had sufficient power, 
 would fly, there can be no doubt.
