During my balloon flight I noticed that the controls were much more complex that just

David,
I'm not disagreeing with you, but in the electrical system diagram in
the "C172S Information Manual" I can't find any mention of where the
navigation lights are fed. Perhaps I'm misreading something?
The manual does describe the navigation lights as part of the exterior
lighting system co

Hello,
Forgot to mention the Nav. light breaker is fed directly from the
primary bus, second item from bottom of page.

Somethings not rebuilding properly. Make sure you have a fresh CVS

Progress has been slow, mostly because of real work getting in the way, but
the Wright Flyer is getting much closer to completion.
Most of the detail and animation is done. Here's a shot from the front with
the elevator mechanism tilted up for initial ascent.:

The lights look great!
The rear facing white light on the rudder is switched on with
the red and green wing tip lights as the nav lights. Is there a

It's looking really good!
On the aero side, I have few tweaks that I want to make before it's
"announced" in whatever fashion. It should not take me too much longer to
get to that.
As for the elevator animation, I have use +-20 deg deflection on my model,

I have just add an ASW 20 to the CVS. Not only does it include the
flight dynamics model, but also there's an external model from Roland
Stuck! He has granted permission for us to use and release these with

Taken together, this is one really neat airplane in FGFS.
