Jim,

Your Wright flyer model is really starting to look sharp!  Good
work. :-)

People need to check this out if they haven't already:

    fgfs --aircraft=wrightFlyer1903-v1-nl-uiuc

You definitely need to stay on your toes (so to speak) to keep this
thing in the air.  The lack of lateral stability is very apparent.  If
you get banked a little too much, you'll slide right out of the sky.
The UIUC folks did a very good job on the flight dynamics.  My gut
feeling is that this is probably very close in terms of performance to
the original.

Curt.
