So... what IS the job, exactly? It's to make the ailerons move, isn't
it? I mean, we got rid of the shoulder frame and the hip frame and
all them other methods and got it boiled down to a simple stick, once
the French jumped in and told us what it was. And then we tied it to
the elevator too. Again,with more help from the French. Push or
pull, the stick... nobody calls it a JOYSTICK any more... push it
left or right to move the ailerons...

A wrinkle about flying a low power Wright style design.
If you warp the left wing down, or put the left wing aileron down,
which way is the plane going to turn?

Why - to the LEFT of course!
(More drag = more turning effect and more wing down.)
