Some of the results were won derful, and I have actually flown over 180 miles, in a 10 h.p. light aeroplane at nearly 60 m.ph, but one had to be an experienced pilot to do it, and the sensation one got might be compared to "drifting along on a feather."

These little aerial motor cycles were toys, and as such were not suitable for teaching flying on, or for the inexperienced pilot to go dashing round the countryside in. However, they did serve a useful purpose. They gave us experience which proved that a small robust low-power acroplane could be built, and the industry set to work and produced what has since become known as the light aeroplane or
