Control Systems

This is the elevator horn formed from 1 x 1 aluminum.  I am using only hand tools so this was made using a hacksaw and files.  This is true for all of the aluminum.

Here is the elevator control affixed to the rear spar.  Cables run to the back and a pushrod attaches to the stick.

This photo and the one next to it show my version of what Mark Langford first did, Mark Jones did next, and here is mine, simple and concise.  This allows me to balance my elevator inside the plane.

In the background is the pulley which sends the cable under my butt to the aileron horn on the other side.

This picture shows the aileron set up.  Because I am using the new airfoil, the horns etc needed to be placed in front of the rear spar.  The pulley in the background sends the cable to the stick.
