Auto Credit Based on SpartanAirplanes's 1903 Wright Flyer

Here, I've designed a simple, mobile-friendly version of the Wright Flyer. This aircraft made history in December of 1903, when it achieved the first powered flight of any airplane. It was designed and assembled by brothers Orville and Wilbur Wright.

Controls:
To take off, throttle to 100%, then press Act. 1 when you reach about 180mph.

Notes:
1. When flying, keep your speed above 120mph
2. When landing, be gentle, and try to be as close to parallel with the ground as you can.

Happy flying, and I hope you enjoy!
