Continued on with the false aileron control by making the pulley frame from .010 styrene. Not quite finished with the pulley details until I get the arrangement setup. The pulley will be secured to the wing with a jewelry flat head pin. Initially, I'm using a synthetic yarn (not wool) as the cable until I can source some smaller heavy sewing thread. It stretches just enough to remain taut but does not pull too hard against the pulley. The "cable" that goes into the wing will be glued in. On the 1:1 cubby there is a grommet that the cable rides through attached to the strut brace clamp. This is simulated by ca'ing a piece of styrene into an aluminum tube. The 1:1 apparently uses a teflon or nylon bushing inside the steel bracket so that is what the styrene simulates. The end that goes into the fuselage will have a small piece of aluminum tube attached. That, in turn, will slide into a piece of fuel tubing that will be attached (and hidden) inside the fuselage. That should effect an easy way to attach/detach the "cable" at the field and allow the "cable" to remain with the wing/struts.
