Thanks Michael for the upgrade. One thing though - Paul Beardsley got it right - the propellor was light colored (even though it was wood), not brown. This is evident in many of the period photos of the plane. You can also see the original silver-painted wooden propeller housed at the Smithsonian: https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-objects/wright-ex-vin-fiz-propeller-fixed-pitch-two-blade-wood/nasm_A19340060001. The propeller on the on machine hanging from the ceiling is light colored (not dark brown), but in any case, it cannot be relied upon totally, as the whole plane is a reconstruction. During the crossing attempt, Rodgers crashed 16 times, and the damage was so extensive the plane had to be rebuilt twice. After the flight, souvenir hunters took their pick, and what was left for us today was just a few original parts.

thanks for the info on the prop, wasn't aware of that. No problem though to recolor it.

Looks like a great plane to fly.

Unfortunately, the plane overstresses on the runway when selected.

I installed as directed.

What am I doing wrong?

do you mean an simulator crash?

The aircraft crashes from overstress when selected.

I had that problem too,

 

in Aircraft.cfg, under [airplane_geometry], you had,

 

positive_g_limit_flaps_up=0.000000

negative_g_limit_flaps_up=0.000000

 

so when the simulation starts the aircraft has a positive G value of 1, which exceeded the positive G limit of 0 and caused an immediate overstress.. I set some guesses for values and doesn't crash.

Thank you so much for that info.

I'll give it a try.

Thank you, flapman, that solved my problem. :)
