America begins testing using secondary OX-5 engines, their OX-6 were not completed at time of these trials. The secondary engines did not provide enough power to get airborn. The amazing replica aircraft was built by volunteers at the Glenn Curtiss Museum in Hammondsport, NY. The project helps people understand in our times just how important and how much Glenn Curtiss did for the advancement of aviation. This was re-enactment of the original dedication ceremony on this day. Pilot Jim and his wife Lavada Poel were the 2007 dedicators. More still photos at http://angelica14709.com/v-web/galler...,

See the 2008 video where it flies very nicely with the right engines.

Yeah. Because the engines operate in opposite rotations, one of the OX-6 engines required a replacement camshaft in order to make it run reversed for this craft. But at the time this was filmed, the necessary camshaft for the second OX-6 the museum had was incomplete leaving the engine unusable. As a result they experimentally fitted the smaller (~50HP less if I remember right) OX-5 engines, which proved to be too small.
I remember seeing this, we were on shore unsure if it would lift or not.
