Excellent historical film of a 1909 demo flight by the Wright brothers
in France, including a short segment from an on-board camera.

Note the presence of yaw strings on the forward elevator!

I assume that this one qualifies as a "light sport aircraft"...


The Wright 1909 Military Flyer weighed 740 lbs, so it fits that part of
the spec.

Since it won't go faster than the upper limits, either...
