No charts yet, though :-)

Any plans on updating with data for the 10124 Wright Flyer?

Definitely. I don’t have a Wright Flyer to test at the moment (donations
cheerfully accepted, though!).
As soon as I do, rest assured that I will subject it to the standard array of
swooshability tests, and report the results.
I do not have high hopes however; I recall that the real Wright Flyer would
not really have counted as swooshable - and I also read your set guide
comment “An extremely weak construction, with to many tensions in the
structure, gaps everywhere and forget about straight wings. Mine exploded
twice during the build. Not for kids!! TLC must have used glue.”.
Cheers

Yes, I beliewe the Wright Flyer would have serious difficulties completing your
test program. My initial testing sofar has proven very unsuccesfull.
There will also be a slight problem with the ground strafing manouver, unless of
course a machine gun is added.
But, it could be quite fun to study the results of your test.
