a redding, ca., guy has built a replica of wright bros.' plane and will
fly it cross country to kitty hawk, n.c.
  his power plant of choice?
  a 4-cyl vw engine!
  the original wright bros. engine "wasn't reliable. this one is 1,000 times
more reliable, so it won't stop," says pilot tom ivicevich. "i'll fly it for
about five hours at a time."
