How 'bout '02? Lets see, in my ship I've got a canard (which will stall like
an SOB), AND linked roll & yaw control. Them Wright boys tried buildin' a
plane without a rudder, but they kept spinnin' inta the sand... hence the term
"well digging." Suprisingly enough, when they ADDED a rudder, and linked it to
the wing-warping system, they quit spinning and started turning. That was Oct.
8, 1902.

Funny how well those goofy odd ideas work.
