I am in the process of modifying an 88 inch Wing Span, 1500Sq. In. Wing Area,Nick Zeroli Taube kit to warping tail and wing.
The suggestion above to use bamboo skewers is a good, but to get better flexiblity I have gone to 1.5 mm carbon fiber rods.By 1913 the builders of Taubeshad dropped the lower wing warping controls.
I am modeling a 1914 Jeannin Stahltaube that is in the German Technical Museum in Berlin for Control Line Sport Scale competition. It will be powered by an OS FS91 SII-P engine.
On the wing there are 6 cables from the carbon rods toan A frame on top of the wing then a single cable over the wing leading edge (through a pulley) then back under the wing to the lower edge of the body by the pilot's feet. Inside the body I have a high power servo.
For the elevator I have followed the three views as close as possible. The trailing edge of the elevator moves +/- 1.5 inches, 3 inches total travel from full up to full down.See pictures.
Thevideo is of a Full size replica of a 1913 Etrich Taube. It has the wood frame and the wood trusses under the wing but they also did not use thelower cables on the wing tips.
