Does anybody have a drawing or picture of the

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...

Dave,

No drawings or pix, &, I've no idea what it's called, but George Applebay used
the mechanism on Zunis, so he or Fidel at the shop might know...
