The elevators on the Flyer were on the front of the aircraft, the rudders are to the rear.
Here is the 1905 Flyer:
And some movie footage of the 1908 demonstration flights, one of which set a world aircraft altitude record of 360 feet.

Attention, U.S. Figure Skating Idiots
You have the 1903 Wright Brothers Flyer flying backwards on your logo:

ReplyDeleteNext time you watch figure skating, check out how much time they spend going backwards. It all same same those fellas.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the Wright Flyer probably wouldn't have flown much worse backwards than it did forwards (it was not exactly the world's most stable aircraft), but it woulda been hard for the pilot to drive given that his seat was facing forward :).
ReplyDeletePerhaps it's the model with the PFPHUD, or Predictive Flight Path Heads-Up Display. Those Wright brothers were clever dicks.
