Yes, Jabiru use it too. But I'm pretty sure using push-pull cables with no
bellcranks would eliminate any differental action of the ailerons. It
might be possible to get some of that back by doing something like what
Mark Langford did with his ailerons (where the front edge sticks up into

I've been thinking about using push-pull cables for the ailerons rather
than the conventional arrangement. Seems to me this could do away with the
need for bellcranks and the like, but I'm not sure what the downsides might
be.
I know push pull cables weigh more than standard aileron cable for a g
Just as aside, my Avid Mk4 has push pull control tubes for elevator and
ailerons including a complex aileron "mixer" that allows the flaperons to
operate as flaps and ailerons at the same time, and to fold the wings back
without disconnecting anything. (Although at low speeds the system can

Oh, and I forgot push-pull-cables. They can be bad news, and heavy is
the least of it. The more curves there in the housings, the more slop
you'll have as they take up the space between cable and housing, and the
friction is much higher than a pulley system. There's a very good
reason why th

Other aircraft designs have used that type of setup. The Murphy
Rebel uses such a cable to actuate the "flaperon
