If your problem pertains to the offsets (which are almost always needed),
you need to use the <offset> tags. Here's an example that's working for me
w/ fgfs 0.7.9:
Aircraft2> less wrightFlyer1903/Models/03Flyer/wrightFlyer1903-03Flyer.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
<path>03Flyer.mdl</path>
<offsets>
<z-m>-.27</z-m>
<x-m>-.6</x-m>
<pitch-deg>0</pitch-deg>
</offsets>
</PropertyList>
And this file is referenced from here:
Aircraft2> less wrightFlyer1903-nl-v1-uiuc-set.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PropertyList>
<sim>
<flight-model>larcsim</flight-model>
<aero>uiuc</aero>
<aircraft-dir>Aircraft-uiuc2/wrightFlyer1903-nl-v1</aircraft-dir>
<sound>
<audible>true</audible>
<path>Aircraft/c172/c172-sound.xml</path>
</sound>
<panel>
<path>Aircraft/c172/Panels/c172-vfr-panel.xml</path>
<visibility>true</visibility>
</panel>
<panel_2>
<path>Aircraft/c172/Panels/c172-trans-mini-panel.xml</path>
</panel_2>
<model>
<path>Aircraft2/wrightFlyer1903/Models/03Flyer/wrightFlyer1903-03Flyer.xml</path>
</model>
</sim>
</PropertyList>
As you probably know, most of the older uiuc files had no gear values
set. Reasonable gear values are now posted here:

Hope that helps.
