The initial output of Charlie's engine was actually 16 hp when it was cold. It dropped to 12 when hot. The Wright's only needed 8 to fly.
The extra 4 probably didn't hurt

The engine (or what's left of it)?
Yeah... it seems to me that there's a fully built, working replica and a dedicated museum somewhere, but for the life of me I can't think of what it is...
Kill Devil Hills? Or Dayton?
Nope, been to Dayton a few times though...
Yeah that seems like it'd be a damn good time. Seems like it'd be a cool fly-in trip...
