The History: The Wrights continued to practicing "hovering" in their modified 1902 glider. Although the wind was only blowing at 6 meters/second [about 13 miles/hour], they brought the glider to Big Hill and made about 12 glides. Each glide lasted about 10-15 seconds in duration and only moved forward 75-100 feet.

The remainder of the day, the brothers worked on their new building.
