Then, it can be argued, development converged ,with the Wrights seeking more natural stability whilst others sought to employ more direct roll control post 1908 . Haraka
You must admit that it is extremely coincidental that real/meaningful advances by others didn't happen until AFTER the public flights of the Wright Bros. in 1908
