If I were installing my own controls, all of them would be pushtube type, save the rudder. The easiest thing to do for the ailerons is to install a bellcrank on the rear of the main spar, to transfer motion from the stick to rear spar where a second bellcrank would send the motion out to the aileron bellcrank, which by plans has the synchronizing cable installed and running from wing to wing. This is replaced by the pushtube running from wing to wing, with the adjusting parts of the tubes behind the rear spar. This would eliminate the need for the front cables and associated pullies altogether, making your entire stub wing available for fuel. One of the netters had some really good pictures of the installation I am referring to, so it has been done once or twice at least. I would convert mine except I am still in the engine swap mode. I may still later... Colin Rainey brokerpi...@bellsouth.net That's exactly what I'm doing.
