		Ibn Firnas' basic failure to sustain flight was because he neglected to include a tail.
		If Firnas failed because he hadn't given himself a tail to land on, and Egil crashed because he didn't launch his glider into the wind, Eilmer failed because his glider didn't have a tail to provide lateral stability.
