Kyle,

LOL. The first aircraft capable of making turns was the 1904 Flyer,
IIRC. The first full circle was flown in 1905, IIRC. So the 1903 Flyer
wasn't good for more than the hops it did - as you wrote.


But the 1903 was able to fly straight in a stable fashion, indicating a small
amount of lateral control and stability.
