It looks good but why is the animation on your blog backwards?

Actually, it's not backwards. Santos-Dumont's No.14 was a 'canard' arrangement. [cannard=duck] The boxkite structure on the 'front' can be waggled sideways and up/down. That's essentially the whole of the steering mechanism. The pilot stands in the rear in a large basket and navigates by cranking two wheel-and-cable pulleys to steer the nose up, down or sideways. Behind him is the two-cylinder engine with pusher prop. It flew, but just barely. First 'flight' was 23 ft. In suceeding months he was flying 700+ feet, but he never really solved the steering to allow for controlled turns.
