summary for "we gave machine first trial today with only partial successful the wind was only about 5 miles an hour , so we anticipated difficulty in getting speed enough on our short n track ( 60 ft ) to lift , we took to hill and after tossing for first whack , which i won , got ready for the start the wind was a little to one side and the track was not exactly straight down hill , which caused the start to be more difficult than it would otherwise have been . however the real trouble was an error in judgment in turning up too suddenly after leaving the track and as the machine had barely enough speed enough for support already , this slowed it down so much that before i could correct the error , the machine began to come down , though turned up a big angle
toward the end it began to speed up again , but i was tool late and it struck the ground while moving a littel to one side , due t wind and rather bad start a few sticks in the front rudder were broken which take a day or two to repair
