We initially designed the new wing with cables to control the ailerons…. This, we found to heavy to control and too time consuming if you wanted to (dis) connect the wings for transport. Happily we made the decision to change to push-pull tubes before we covered the wing. (As we were about to cover it)
This is how the system works now; via cables and pulleys the stick moves the bellcrank on the top of the fuselage. From there small aluminum tubes move the ailerons via a bellcrank in the wing. This bellcrank is designed to cause differential aileron action to minimize the effects of adverse yaw. With the help of many friends we progressing towards covering the wing, weight and balance and the first test flights!
