some flying, and people began coming to see their flights. Later that year a few passengers were carried. Frank took out patents on their new method of control and in June they exhibited one of their 8-cylinder engines at the Newark Automobile Show in the Essex Armory. 

During the spring of 1910, Frank, Joseph, and Kimball organized the New Jersey Aeronautical Society to encourage local interest in aviation. Late in 1910 the nacelle was added to the Blue machine. Their unique jib control did not infringe on the Wright Brothers patents and was very positive and simple. There was no rudder, no ailerons, and no wing warping. Instead they used a triangular resistance-making surface, called a jib, at the outer end of the main planes between the wings. Each jib was pivoted on an oblique axis from the lower front strut to the upper rear strut and was movable inward, in one direction only. The operation was similar to that of steering an automobile. In turning, the steering wheel was rotated in the direction it was desired to go, the jib on that side pulled in and the plane banked and turned. To straighten out, the control was simply returned to neutral. Lateral control was obtained by presenting the jib on the high side at a negative angle as in steering. Two of their 8-cylinder engines were sold that year, the first one to Earle Remington of California and then one to Charles Lake of Bridgeport, Connecticut. Financing the work was a continuing problem and materially limited their program. 

Early in 1911, Frank gave up the Correja field due to rough ground and too many trees, and moved all the material and equipment in their hangar to a shop in the Gordon Press Works at Rahway, and his flying operations to Mineola, Long Island. Frank started to build four new "Bluebird" biplanes in the Gordon Press Works shop and Joseph was working on six additional engines, one of which was a 4-cylinder model for school machine use. Several notables visited the brothers during 1911 to see what they were doing. Among them were Thomas A. Edison and
