Entreprenuers look to the Wright Brothers for guidance to succeed.

The Wright Brothers were true Entreprenuers that reached for the sky from no fortune. They worked in a bicycle shop and followed their dream. There are many Wright Brother books and I have many but most are based upon the Original Papers of Orville and Wilbur Wright. An Entrepreneur I like right now is Dale Kramer inventor of the Lazair Ultralight. My VTOL Icarus V project will be based on much of the knowledge and technology of the newer eLazair found on RCGroups thread
