“ It would be well, of course, for the prospective aviator to make himself acquainted with the subject of atmosphere as it applies to aeronautics, to have a good general knowledge of gasoline motors, and to study the properties and qualities of the different materials which enter into the construction of the monoplane. ”

“ In presenting the plans through Popular Mechanics Magazine we trust that no one of our readers will start to build unless he possesses these qualities, especially the latter, without which he will never be able to accomplish anything. That the monoplane is the superior form of heavier-than-air machine is the opinion of a majority of the aviation experts. Biplanes and even triplanes have made wonderful flights. but no flying-machine ever built has proven so easy to balance as the monoplane. ”

“ Of course the possession of plans is the basis without which it would be impossible to set about building the airship, but at the same time it is necessary to possess some mechanical skill and ability, and plenty of common sense. ”
