The Wright Flyers were all terribly unstable... Only years of practice controlling kite mock-ups allowed the Wright Brothers to succeed.
You especially do not want scale roll control, since it is wing warping with massive adverse yaw.
The airplane had "Anhedral" or reverse of dihedral... making it try to roll inverted when rudder was applied. Failure to coordinate the turn with rudder and wing warp was a guaranteed way to plant the airplane in the dirt.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.
current planes from 1/2 oz to 22 lbs

Prettymuch all pre-WWI aircraft were sketchy at best.
Not enough was known about what actually made airplanes work. Not enough was understood about the loads on the structures imposed by doing even basic maneuvers. And making an engine that could produce enough power while being light enough was a serious problem.FF gliders and rubber power since 1966, CL 1970-1990, RC since 1975.

You might try looking up radical rc and see if they are still making the depron version
