(KSMS/KSSC)
This model was built as a tribute to the people that enabled me to follow my dream of flight.

THE AIRPLANE:
I have attempted to recreate the 1903 Wright Flyer in a fashion that will enable most simflyers to pilot this craft. Select "Kitty Hawk 1903" from the select a flight option/My Saved Flights. Use the "M" followed by "++" to start the engine. Use the "S" key to switch to various viewpoints. The VC view should be set to about .31 using the "- -" keys to get the best view of flight from the craft.
The "Tower" viewpoint is an excellent location to recreate the feel of the photo of that first flight. I usually fly with the "Ctl-Z" airspeed on the screen due to the lack of an accurate instrument panel. If you get too slow, the plane will mush, drop the nose, and begin a dive.
