GOTHA G.IV. QUESTION
« on: September 08, 2013, 03:37:49 PM »
  So, I posted that I will be starting the WNW Gotha project with functional air surfaces. I have the rudder and elevator surfaces figured out, as to how the cable to the foot control and the elevator control is wired.

  Now my question, dose anyone know of a reference for the aileron cable run, and where the aileron cable pulleys might be located?

  I realize that there are no surviving aircraft to reference, I just can't seem to find any diagrams of the cable runs for this beast.

  Thanks guys for any help,  RichO
OMG, I have finally discovered what's wrong with my brain: On the left side there is nothing right, and on the right side, there is nothing left.

  SO I see we are all in the same boat here. No references on placement of cable pullys or cable run for the ailerons. I guess what I will do is find as many photos as I can and just wing it. LOL. The WNW kit is a solid wing anyway, it's not like I can open them up and install pullys anyway. I'm thinking of putting some small holes through the wing and faking it. I'll get it to work tho.

  Thanks All, RichO
