Does anybody have a drawing or picture of the
torsion linkage used to drive the ailerons in
early Ventus or the rudder in Libelle ?
Or can tell me what that's called ?

Thanks !

PS: It was used to avoid external bellcranks,
with their associated fairings and drag. It's
out of favor because it is problematic
(cost, weight, stiction, etc), and it turns
out the fairings add negligible drag...

Hi Dave, have sent you details off forum

The torque tube on the Ventus-A is used to drive the flaps, pushrods
are used for spoilers and ailerons, though they are all mixed and
linked. Will send you details offline...
