1903 - Wright brothers sue for getting no response to their initial inquiry of "Any traffic in the area, please advise". Judge determines outcome of the case, stating "There actually wasn't any other traffic in the area".

Ah there was already case law precedent to cover that situation, see Wright v. Lilienthal, US Circuit Court, 1896. Stupid judge.

Started to say something about Orville and Wilber flying without a medical... but then I wondered if the Wright Flyer would qualify under LSA rules

Yeah, but did either of them have driver's licenses?

As automobile-related fatalities soared in North America, public outcry provoked legislators to begin studying the French and German statutes as models.[3] On August 1, 1910, North America's first licensing law for motor vehicles went into effect in the U.S. state of New York, though it initially applied only to professional chauffeurs.[4] In July 1913, the state of New Jersey became the first to require all drivers to pass a mandatory examination before receiving a license.[5]

It does.

I think it actually would be an E-LSA, being a homebuilt.

In those days the faa only specified bicycle license to fly anything you could think up. Bicycle built for two allowed you to fly a twin.
