There’s a reproduction of the Wright Flyer in the Wright Brothers Museum at Kill Devil Hills, NC. It’s a large biplane. I’m glad to see that they’re making good use of all that old fabric.

It’s amazing and fortunate that these brothers, self taught, evolved their expertise from bikes to kites to gliders to powered flight.
