The Stanzell Tiger Shark used what they called the 'G Line' system it predated the much later Stanzell monoline systems by a good margin. The airplanes elevator was not controlled at all. Instead there was a single line attached forward of the wings leading edge by several inchs in standoffs. This line at the flyers end was attached to the end of an eight foot bamboo pole and the flyer controlled the flight by moving the pole up or down.

The elevator and rudder were hinged but used rubberband wrapped sliding wires for to make fine trimming adjustments.
