Seth:

Just a word of caution when it comes to the placement of those aileron pullies! I built mine per the "Sunderland" prints, where he showed the pullies on the wing top view, and where the aileron bellcrank was located, without checking things out, covered the wing panels and all. Well guess what? The cables coming up from the bottom wing run right smack dab into the rear outboard strut to get to the aileron bellcrank! At this point all I can do is open up the wingtip and move the pullies , but then I have internal tubes that route the cables right to the pullies, what a mess, huh? It is all on the back burner for now as I'm finishing my DH-84 "Dragon".

Keep up the excellent work, your a real inspiration to us all!
