https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antoinette_V
The Antoinette V was an early French aircraft, first flown on 20 December 1908.
Following closely to the winning formula that Levavasseur had introduced, the
Antoinette V introduced a revised undercarriage, with a closely spaced pair of
mainwheels at the rear of a carriage/skid which extended forward of the
propeller, a tail-skid attached to the lower fin framework prevented damage to
the tail section. Lateral stability on the ground was provided by outrigger
wheels supported by a wire-braced framework at about half-span.

A development of the Antoinette IV, the Antoinette V differed somewhat in having
increased upper vertical tail area with no fabric covering the lower fin
framework. The fuselage consisted of a wooden framework of triangular section
covered with fabric, except in the cockpit area abreast the wing trailing edge.
The wings were built in a similar fashion and were also covered in fabric.
Control was affected by wheels either side of the pilots seat for roll and pitch
and a rudder bar for yaw. The pilot operated a triangular elevator hinged to the
tailing edge of the large tailplane, rhomboidal ailerons hinged from the
traiiling edges of the wing-tips and two triangular rudders above and below the
tailplane.
