Once in the air, he found that turning was a problem: the airplane
seemed to go into nearly uncontrollable skids. He recovered from
several and then attempted once again to turn back to the airport

Turning? Was the 1903 Wright Flyer capable of turning???



The Model B is not even close to the '03 Flyer. The Model B was quite
capable of turning. Obviously the '03 Flyer did not live long enough to
attempt any turns.
