Doesn't matter that it has been done before, and doesn't matter thant 
pterosaurs aren't dinosaurs -- I'm glad to see Sankar doing it !!
I don't know if the group of previous builders they're joining is select, 
but it sure is small :-)

P.S.  If they are doing a true membrane wing, they are in for quite a steep 
learning curve.  If a semi-rigid wing like MacCready, it will be a lot 
easier.
