Amazing,. *From the elevator movement, it looks like it has very poor
pitch stability and the pilot has to be on top of it all the time.

Matt, I got the same impression. From all I have read of the Wright
flyers, that forward elevator (and the fact that its top speed and its
stall speed were so close together!) made it a real bitch to fly.
Note the full up elevator at the end of the ground run, followed
immediately by a down 'pulse' to avoid a stall.
