1903 Wright Flyer

General Info -> Wright Flyer on Wikipedia

I've made it in early-mid 2023 and planned to post it on 17 dec 2023, but for some reasons it was forgotten until now.

Features working stopwatch and anemometer ( metric ).

Controls:

Standard Pitch/Roll controls;
Yaw combined with Roll;
Activation Group 7 : Stopwatch Start/Stop;

This aircarft has little controlability over Roll/Yaw axes. Don't roll too much, or the plane will either stall or flatspin.

    @XPEH3HAETKAK the first airplane to properly generate and fly under its own power was the steam powered hiram maxim airplane in 1894 when it was able to generate so much lift it literally broke the rails that were supposed to hold it down

    I planned to build this before and eventually gave up thinking it's too complicated... Thank you for your work, it looks amazing and the performance is very realistic 10/10
