| After the hassle of covering and painting my Nieuport 11 with the cables hanging loose I decided to try something different. The plastic tubes pictured here will allow me to pull the cables back into the tubes and out of the way and then push them back out after the painting is finished. |

aileron controls |

| Yes please both Biplane guy - I have a hand-drawn diagram for the Curtiss Pusher I made (I could take a pic and post it if you want a good laugh) - it would be great to confirm its correctness - do you want to post a pic of the diagrams ? - or email them to me ? - if email, I will ask James to give you my email address ... |

| LW, do you want a diagram for the Curtiss pusher or one for the DR-1? What I'm doing is a simplified aileron control on the DR-1. Fokker used four cables looped through multiple pulleys to move the ailerons (not worth the effort on a model this size when you won't be able to see and appreciate it after the model is covered.) I have diagrams for both aircraft if you want them. |

| Biplane Guy - is there a link to a good schematic diagram that shows how the cockpit controls work and how they link up to the control horns? I am stumped - it took me forever to figure it out for the Curtiss Pusher ... |

| The pulleys are glued to the brass shaft which turns free in brass bushings (grommets). |

| Thanks for the idea Biplane Guy - very clean and functional! |

| Lastwoodsman, here's what I came up with. The nylon washers are DU-BRO Cat. No. 323 #4 flat washers. The brass ferrule, small metal washer, and screw are parts from a DU-BRO Cat. No. 114 Small Servo Mounting Hardware kit. I had originally planned to make the pulleys from discs punched from a styrene sheet stock but this simplified things. |
