This happened during my first flight in the Wright Flyer

It stalls so easy, I can't believe how the actual Wright Brothers flew it

I don't think it was even ment for climbing...just flying level at about 5 feet...

5 feet is 5 feet, that's in the air, that's considered aviation ;) ;D

When I flew a full-sized sim mockup of the first Flyer at Oshkosh in '03 (you lie on the wing and fly it just like the real thing- wiggle your hips for roll and push/pull a lever for pitch), I found it very hard to do anything but get it in ground effect and try to keep it straight.
I lasted a few minutes, then hit a tree because it was impossible to turn without almost stalling.
Very twitchy machine.

Now that I think about it... has anybody tried the Wright Flyer in FSX ? Does it work fine ? I know some other FS9 defaults work PERFECT in FSX, but I was wondering for this one...

Yup. I might go upload it to SimV now.
