All

Does anyone have any info on this first Cessna to fly back in 1911? Also are there any fullscale replicas around?

TIA
Dave

In the past few years a flying replica was flown, but still trying to track it down. Here is the basic stats; http://www.aerofiles.com/_cessna.html http://cessna.com:1100/about_cessna/history_00.html

I think? there is a small museum in central Kansas that may have the replica on display.
